💎 SYNOPSIS SEASON 2 | "THE DEMONDEGO DIAMOND" | A group of college friends reunites at a wedding—eight years after one was convicted of murdering another. When a second friend is found dead, questions arise as to whether the real killer went to prison. Everyone’s a suspect in this dual-timeline dark academia whodunit set in a Gilded Age estate on an elite college campus in the American South. Think Agatha Christie's mystery plotting meets the relationship drama of "Tell Me Lies". This is a standalone mystery, but you'll recognize a familiar character from season 1...
