The case has been long closed, but a curious Pip Fitz-Amobi, now a high school senior, believes that there is more to the story. As she tries to get to the bottom of things and uncover the truth that has been buried five years ago, Pip begins to investigate the case, as her senior school project.

The official synopsis of the show reads:

"Pip Fitz-Amobi, a brilliant woman, is unsure whether schoolgirl Andie Bell was killed by her lover Sal Singh five years ago. How far will they go to protect Pip from learning the truth if Sal Singh turns out not to be the murderer?"
