Que se passe-t-il dans la cité de Glenfrome en cet après-midi de canicule qui précède le drame ? Cody Swift retourne "à la maison" pour interroger sa propre mère, Julie Swift, qui se souvient de ce terrible dimanche : les cagettes de fraises qu'il faut transformer en confiture, son fils et ses amis, le trio infernal... Quand les trois garçons rentrent pour le goûter, Julie Swift remarque le T-shirt déchiré de son fils et lui interdit de ressortir avec ses amis pour le punir. Scott et Charlie repartent, c'est la dernière fois que Cody les voit.

Si Charlie, Scott et Cody étaient inséparables, la relation entre leurs mères était plus compliquée. Dans cet épisode, Cody Swift nous permet de comprendre un peu mieux qui étaient les mères de Scott et Charlie : Annette Ashby, chaleureuse, raisonnable et entièrement dévouée à son fils Scott ; et Jessy Paige, mère-enfant, qui déteste qu'on l'appelle "Madame" ou "maman", qui raconte des blagues osées, rit fort et s'évade tous les soirs en boite de nuit, laissant son fils Charlie seul à la maison.

Qui était vraiment Jessica Paige, la mère de Charlie ? La question est simple mais la réponse est bien plus complexe. Dans cet épisode, Cody Swift tente de dresser le portrait de cette maman fantasque et fêtarde qui a disparu entre 22h13 et 23h25 la nuit du meurtre de son fils sans pouvoir fournir d'alibi à la police.

Deux avions puis des centaines de kilomètres de route plus tard, Cody Swift arrive sur la côte nord de la Norvège, dans un petit village au milieu de nulle part pour rencontrer Howard Smail, ex-inspecteur chargé de l'enquête sur les meurtres de Charlie et de Scott.
