I Blame The Parents

Your neighbour is dead. Your son has been arrested...

Ellen is at home with her sixteen-year-old son, Noah, when she hears a knock at the door. Two police officers stand outside in the storm. Ellen's husband and daughter are supposed to be driving back right now. Have they been in a crash? Has there been some kind of accident?

But the two officers don't want to talk about her husband or daughter. And no, this isn't some sort of mistake. They're here because of her son. Ellen's neighbour is dead. And Noah is about to be arrested for murder...
