A stylish soap-opera mystery built around a tight ensemble of attractive 20-somethings in Los Angeles, balancing romantic entanglement with murder-mystery suspense.
In an elegant Spanish-style apartment building in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, a diverse group of 20-somethings have formed a close-knit surrogate family. However, when a bloody body is found floating in the courtyard pool, the police soon discover that almost everyone had a reason to want the deceased out of the way.
