It's the truth that haunts us

Overview

Abel Grey is sent to investigate the death of a boy from an exclusive local school, who is found floating in the river. Fearing scandal, the school insists it was suicide. But after discovering from the boy's girlfriend, Carlin, that he was being badly bullied, Abel suspects that a dangerous schoolboy initiation has gone horribly wrong and he secretly solicits the help of a sympathetic teacher, Betsy. He is warned off the investigation by his boss, as the school is a generous benefactor to the Police benevolent fund. Abel, however, cannot let the case go, not only because his own brother committed suicide years before, but also it seems that the spirit of the dead boy is leaving them clues as to what really happened that night.

    ***Mysterious winter death at an exclusive prep school in the Northeast*** A 17 year-old student (Thomas Gibson) from the prestigious Haddan School is found frozen in the nearby river. The school wants to avoid negative press by quickly closing the case as a suicide, but police officer Abel Grey (Edward Burns) smells something fishy and considers the possibility of a hazing gone wrong. Rachelle Lefevre plays a friend of the dead student while Jamie Thomas King appears as his rival for her affections. Jennifer Ehle is on hand as an engaged teacher at the school that captures Abel’s attention ...
