When the Streetlights Go On

Teenage student-journalist, Charlie Chambers, pieces together the clues of a vicious double-homicide in the summer of 1995. Friends and loved ones of the deceased struggle to make sense of their new, grief-stricken reality.

Detective Darlene Grasso begins her investigation into the murders of Chrissy Monroe and Steve Carpenter. Aided by Charlie’s discovery, she zeros in on one suspect, in particular: Brad Kirchoff, Chrissy’s boyfriend.

Charlie convinces the newspaper editor, Mr. Bouque, to let him write about the murder. A conversation between Charlie and Becky in the woods rekindles their spark of connection. The killer dials Chrissy’s private line.

The students of Colfax High partake in the homecoming dance while Detective Grasso interrogates Casper Tatum.

Casper finally realizes the identity of his secret crush, Becky Monroe, is the sister of a girl everyone thinks he murdered. A late-night encounter in the newspaper room provides Charlie with the scoop of his young career.

After Charlie’s article in the school paper exonerates Casper, an unlikely romance blossoms between the town bad boy and Becky Monroe.
