I Have Some Questions for You

Synopsis

Bodie Kane, a successful film professor and podcaster, has long tried to distance herself from a traumatic past, which includes a difficult adolescence at a New Hampshire boarding school and the unsolved murder of her roommate, Thalia Keith, in 1995. The school's athletic trainer, Omar Evans, was convicted, but the circumstances have remained a subject of online debate. When Bodie is invited back to the Granby School to teach, she finds herself reluctantly drawn back into the cold case. As she revisits the events of that fateful year, she begins to uncover unsettling discrepancies and overlooked details in the original investigation. Bodie is forced to confront the possibility that the wrong person was convicted, and that the true killer might still be at large. This journey into her past compels her to question her own memories and her role, however peripheral, in the events surrounding Thalia's death, turning a true-crime obsession into a deeply personal reckoning with memory, truth, and justice.
