Story
A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.

Story
Meet the Devohrs: Zee, a Marxist literary scholar who detests her parents' wealth but nevertheless finds herself living in their carriage house; Gracie, her mother, who claims she can tell your lot in life by looking at your teeth; and Bruce, her step-father, stockpiling supplies for the Y2K apocalypse and perpetually late for his tee time. Then there's Violet Devohr, Zee's great-grandmother, who they say took her own life somewhere in the vast house, and whose massive oil portrait still hangs in the dining room.

Story
Eigentlich wollte Bodie Kane ihre Zeit am Internat in New Hampshire für immer hinter sich lassen. Zu schmerzhaft ist die Erinnerung an vier Jahre als Einzelgängerin und an den Mord an ihrer Zimmergenossin Thalia Keith. Trotzdem kehrt Bodie als Dozentin für Medienwissenschaften zurück an das College. Als eine ihrer Schülerinnen beginnt, an einem Podcast über Thalias Tod zu arbeiten, gerät sie in einen obsessiven Strudel aus Erinnerung, nächtlicher Internetrecherche und imaginären Gesprächen mit ehemaligen Zeitgenossen.

Story
Yale Tishman es uno de los muchos amigos de Nico que se han reunido para honrar su memoria en una pequeña fiesta. A la misma hora, no muy lejos de allí, se celebra en una iglesia el funeral oficial, organizado por la familia, que ha dejado bien claro que sus amigos no son bienvenidos. Es Chicago, es 1985, y esos amigos son homosexuales. En otros tiempos, tal vez, Yale lo habría tenido todo para ser feliz: una relación estable, un grupo de amigos muy unido y una carrera prometedora. Sin embargo, es Chicago, es 1985, y el SIDA causa verdaderos estragos.
