Kogda pojut tsikady
V Emersone, bogatom prigorode Bostona, zhizn techet spokojno i razmerenno, poka v odnom iz domov ne nakhodjat telo ubitoj devushki - dvadtsatiletnej Iden Perri. Pod podozreniem okazyvajutsja troe starsheklassnikov, kotorye nakanune vecherom byli u nee v gostjakh: Khanna - tikhonja s nestabilnoj psikhikoj; Dzhek - tsinichnyj podrostok s durnymi naklonnostjami, pretendujuschij na rol lidera; i Kristofer - zakompleksovannyj autsajder, otchajanno pytajuschijsja vpisatsja v obschuju kompaniju. Bogatye roditeli podrostkov gotovy sdelat vse, chtoby zaschitit svoikh detej, dazhe esli dlja etogo pridetsja 'utopit' kogo-to drugogo. No mat ubitoj devushki tverdo namerena ustanovit istinu. Sumeet li ej v etom pomoch sluchajnyj svidetel, v tu rokovuju noch okazavshijsja rjadom s domom, gde proizoshla tragedija?
