It’s the fall semester of 1985, and students at the elite Renfrew College are protesting against Apartheid, applying to MBA programs---and gossiping about the drug-fueled lives of the campus elite, also known as BPs or Beautiful People. When the troubled Juliet Sloper, daughter of a fabulously rich inside trader, is found murdered on a wooded path, her death sparks a tabloid feeding-frensy in the New York press.

Juliet’s coke dealer and occasional lover, David Conklin, is quickly arrested after her bloodied student ID is discovered in his truck, and the murder seems an open-and-shut case. However, English professor Anne Upton, celebrated for having solved her own mother's brutal murder, is not so sure.
