One of Us Is Back
Two years after Simon Kelleher's death upended Bayview High, the friend group it created — now nine strong and known as the Bayview Crew — is home for the summer when Jake Riordan, a former friend convicted in the fallout of that first case, is released early on a technicality. Odd incidents follow him back into their lives, then escalate: a billboard reading "Time for a new game, Bayview" appears, dismissed at first as a prank, until a member of the group goes missing.
As the Crew works to trace who is behind the new threat and what it has to do with Jake's return, old fault lines resurface — including suspicion that the danger may be coming from inside the group itself. Nate and Bronwyn, central to the original case, are pulled back into an investigation neither wanted to revisit.
