When a celebrated college soccer star is found murdered in her dorm room days before a championship match, Detective Megan Hall uncovers a web of academic fraud, booster corruption, and moral compromise beneath the surface of a tight-knit Southern university. As pressure mounts from the media, the community, and powerful interests invested in winning at any cost, Hall must follow the evidence to a truth that exposes how integrity can become dangerous when money, reputation, and ambition collide.

As Detective Webb untangles alibis, speakeasy detours, and mistaken identity, the case reveals a clever twist where jealousy, invisibility, and assumption become deadly.
