It was released on Apple TV+ on January 28, 2022, simultaneously with the second and third episodes.
The series follows the events following a high school reunion after-party ending in murder, where everyone is a suspect, as Detective Danner interviews the suspects present, having her tell them their "mind-movies" about the night in question/the events leading up to it.
