It's the start of summer in Dartmouth, 1973. Fifteen-year-old Donnie is looking forward to hanging out with his friends, and less enthusiastic about a summer job. On his way to the job interview, he becomes the only witness to a murder. For Donnie and his friends, including a girl from his past who is suddenly back in his life, his involvement in the case is both exciting and scary - and puts them all in danger.

Friends and Consequences is a thriller and a nostalgic reflection on the close friendships we make in high school, first loves, and the pleasures and perils of being a teenager in the 1970s.
