'One of Us Is Lying' is set in a High School in America.

Everyone’s keeping secrets, unlikely friendships are formed and romance blossoms. The four left alive were lucky escapees of having their deepest secrets posted for the world to see. Simon was all set to reveal them, but he died before he could. Is this just a lucky coincidence or a farce for the real murderer to operate under.
