Alone with Me

The year is 1962. The moon has never looked closer. The Beatles haven't invaded yet. Drive-ins are the best place to do anything but see a movie.

There are few places that have tighter races about keeping up with the Joneses than Caroline Hills in upstate New York.

Two teenagers, however, aren't concerned with fitting in with the Technicolor upper crust. First is Paul, an aspiring writer used to living in the shadow of his golden boy brother. Second is Jenny, Paul's new neighbor, who sees the rules and the reigning social food chain as an invitation to stir up trouble. In fact, she even gets good boy Paul to agree to scratch off 'do something bad' from his bucket list.

So on July 4th, 1962, while everyone else is enjoying the fireworks at the annual fair, Jenny and Paul will break and enter into someone's home. No big deal since the owner is away. Besides, the lake house is on the outskirts of town, making it the perfect spot for Paul to prove he's a rebel after all. Jenny leaves with unanswered questions and Paul a souvenir in his blue jeans pocket. In the darkness, they hear someone else rowing across the lake headed where they just came from. Jenny swears she saw a hand lying over the side of the other boat.

The next morning, a classmate of Paul's is found dead. Everyone else is at peace when the police charge an outsider with ending the popular cheerleader's life. Paul and Jenny discover that the truth is much more insidious than anyone wants to believe and that this was not the killer's first victim, not even close.

Paul isn't sleeping and Jenny isn't letting go. He wants justice, not revenge. To this, Jenny argues the only difference is his opinion. Of course, the murderer also knows that someone else is onto him, and even in Caroline Hills, what you know can get you killed.
