Even though Lisa has dumped him, she invites him to her eighteenth birthday party. He knows he shouldn't go, but he can't resist.

With all these warnings and the pressure put on him by Windy, the night of the party Billy still goes to Lisa's house, where they make love one last time. When he leaves, he knows that after graduation, just days away, he won't be seeing her again. That night Lisa is murdered and Billy is the prime suspect. He's the only suspect the Cedar County sheriff needs. Arresting Billy for murder will be payback for something that happened years ago between Sheriff Moody and his dad.
