At the end of season two, Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) and his friends were shouldering the burden of their classmate Tyler, who nearly committed an unthinkable act at Spring Fling. Now, eight months later, the teens are suddenly faced with the disappearance and death of football player Bryce Walker after the Homecoming game. Bryce’s death, and the mystery behind who killed him, threatens to expose Clay’s cover-up and put his friends at risk.
“Eight months after preventing Tyler from committing an unthinkable act at Spring Fling, Clay, Tony, Jessica, Alex, Justin, and Zach find ways to shoulder the burden of the cover-up together while helping Tyler move toward recovery,” the Season 3 synopsis states.
