How well do you know your neighbors? It all begins one sunny day in Century City High School's girls' locker room with the gruesome murder of a cheerleader.

Freedom and equality are the watchwords of American democracy. But like justice, freedom and equality are meaningless when there is no corresponding practical application of the ideals they represent.
