About the series

Los Angeles, 1981. High school student Jonathan meets Robert Melvin, a new classmate whose arrival quickly raises questions. When a series of brutal murders begins to unsettle the city, Jonathan starts noticing disturbing connections between the crimes and the people around him. Amid teenage parties, first love, and the uncertainty of growing up, Jonathan becomes increasingly drawn into a mystery that may be far closer to him than he imagined. As the search for answers intensifies, trust becomes harder to hold on to, and the line between an innocent acquaintance and a dangerous secret begins to disappear.
