1 ~ Out of place (Ben)

A world comes crashing down for Leila: Her best friend Julia is dead. Suicide, they say. Leila can't and won't believe it. Her uncle reluctantly lets her investigate, and in the process his niece receives support on his behalf from Ben - who knows his way around criminal circles pretty well. As they learn to work together, they unearth some secrets, those of unassuming classmates and those of unscrupulous criminals. All this is rather beside the point for Leila, who only wants justice for her, as she believes, murdered friend...but in the process she learns a few things about herself and Julia that make her doubt their mutual friendship. Who was Julia?
