contender is the bold and beautiful Nova Albright. Though Tinsley

tries to convince her to drop out, Nova isn’t about to step aside

for some rich white girl.

declaring she should have killed Nova. The next morning Lovett

High’s first Black homecoming queen turns up dead. Would Tinsley

do anything for the crown?

Nova’s best friend Duchess certainly thinks so. So when Tinsley

asks Duchess for help to clear her name, she agrees. She’s determined

to get justice for Nova, even it means befriending a murderer

to find proof against her. But their investigation begins to

uncover secrets about Nova’s past and one big secret that could change

everything in their small town.
