In the seemingly idyllic town of Neptune, California, few teenagers have endured a more difficult adolescence than Veronica Mars. Her best friend Lily was brutally murdered, and her father lost his job trying to find the killer. Her mother disappeared in mysterious circumstances, and she was ostracised by her in-crowd friends. When Veronica (Kristen Bell) was drugged and assaulted, there weren't many people left to help her out. So what else could she do but become a part-time private detective?

Having survived all the murder, fraud and backstabbing that seasons one and two could throw at her, Veronica Mars is back for a dramatic third run. Graduating to the exclusive Hearst College, the schoolgirl-turned-sleuth has regained some of her old friends but must prepare for more terrifying challenges ahead. Veronica continues her on-off romance with Logan, while her father begins an affair with a married woman. A serial rapist casts a shadow over the freshmen's first term, with Veronica going undercover to find the culprit. Working for the college paper allows her to put her inquisitive nature to good use, and she soon finds that that the campus is full of dark secrets.
