When she discovers the stabbed and beaten body of her neighbor, Reggie, she conceals evidence Danny may have attended the all-male party where the crime occurred. More murders occur, and the investigation widens. Danny becomes trapped in the coils of The Club, a group of powerful men who abuse vulnerable teens.
