April 4th, 1984 - Fidelis, CA an upwardly mobile town of 30,000 is rocked by the fatal stabbing of Sarah Luger, a 15 year old volleyball star, on her front doorstep. Months, 1500 tips, 378 cars searched, 150 interviews, and no suspects later, Det. Lt. Charles Sariano, famous for trapping the Capricorn Killer in San Francisco almost twenty years earlier, is called in to solve the case with a new partner with secrets of his own. Instead of profiling the killer, Lt. Sariano and his team profile the victim, Sarah, and uncover a confluence of events which cuts a land mine-filled adolescence short one fateful night.
Sarah Luger, is much more than a murder mystery, it explores a time and a place in our recent history where many major shifts in politics and culture occurred which affect us today. Sarah's murder represents the failure of myopic attitudes inherent in white flight, trickle down economics, willful ignorance, erasure of the recent past namely Vietnam and the 60's.
