In1995 Bodie Kane, graduated from Granby, a New Hampshire boarding school, defiant, isolated, resentful of the life that landed her there. It is also the year her roommate was found dead in the school swimming pool and Omar, the Black athletic director was found guilty of her murder. In 2018, journalist Bodie returns to Granby to teach a class in podcasting. Her own podcast is about women in film - mostly about what the male dominated Hollywood culture required of women to succeed in film. As those early Granby memories return, she becomes convinced that Omar did not commit the murder. Some of her students agree and a class project becomes a tangled mystery. But Bodie brings so much more to the conversation - the MeToo movement, the confusion of cancel culture dynamics, how race stands in the way of truth. The "you" in the title is another teacher Bodie believes may hold the key to justice. But maybe for the big injustices in the world, justice is hard to find.
