The Red Balloon

Matt Canagan, a high school senior, wakes up one morning to find that he has no recollection of the previous night's activities, and his t-shirt is covered in blood. When he turns on the television and sees that his ex-girlfriend, Terry Wessel, was found murdered the night before, he realizes something has gone terribly wrong.
Everyone in town thinks that Matt murdered his ex-girlfriend, but Detective Timothy Einhorn is not so sure. Tim hasn't been to Aeron's Point since his father was revealed to be a corrupt cop. But when his uncle, the chief of police, brings him in to investigate Terry Wessel's murder, he finds himself struggling to prove to the town of Aeron's Point that he is different from his father.
Unfortunately, when Matt decides to run from the police, things become that much tougher for Tim.
