A bully has been picking on kids at Neptune High School just in time to ruin the Spring Musical. With nowhere else to turn, Al Hart looks to hard boiled high school PI Veronica Mars to do what you'd expect of any diminutive detective when a huge football player is barreling your way - be his bodyguard. While tackling oversized linebackers, and counseling her lovelorn friends, Veronica is still in midst of trying to find the villain capable of killing a schoolbus full of kids, and has new clues that take a deeply personal turn for victim Peter Ferrer.
