In 1980, four young scholarship recipients from the Rowe Academy for Girls form a friendship built on trust and secrets. Now their past has caught up with them and their secrets are about to be revealed. Only three girls remain, one having committed suicide while they were still at the academy, and their trust in their friendship is about to be tested.
After spending twenty-three years in prison, a wrongfully convicted man is exonerated for the murder of the headmistress of Rowe Academy. This leaves everyone asking the obvious question; if he's not guilty, who is? Before he gets a chance to speak to anyone and tell what he knows, he's murdered in the same way the headmistress was.
One true crime writer is doing all he can to solve the old murder mystery, even if it means unraveling the past of some powerful people. Of the three girls that remain, Mattie has become a federal judge, Breeze is an extremely successful entrepreneur and Jane has become the first lady of the United States. They have everything to lose and nothing to gain if the truth comes out so they re-unite to ensure their secrets stay just their secrets.
