Summer, 1965.

Late one night, thirteen-year-old Charlie Bucktin is startled by a knock on his window.

His visitor is Jasper Jones. Rebellious, mixed-race and solitary, Jasper is intriguing. And he needs Charlie's help. In the dead of night, the boys steal through town, and Charlie learns of Jasper's horrible discovery.

Burdened by a terrible secret and the weight of a town's suspicion, Charlie feels his world closing in.

After this summer nothing will ever be the same again.
