Poor Veronica Mars. She lost her boyfriend (Duncan Kane, the son of software billionaire Jake Kane, who dumped her unceremoniously one day about nine months ago). She lost her best friend Lilly Kane (Duncan’s sister who was murdered). She lost her mother, Lianne Mars (she walked out on the family after Veronica’s father Keith, the local sheriff, accused Jake Kane of the murder, and was subsequently proven wrong and run out of office). She even lost her virginity (Veronica crashed a party at Shelly Pomroy’s house where someone drugged and, presumably, raped her; the police ignored the crime because of her father’s unpopularity, and she doesn’t dare tell her father).
Now Veronica and her father make a living as private investigators, Keith handling the big jobs, and Veronica pitching in where she can with surveillance and research. She also has to deal with high school, where she’s become a pariah with the rich kids after the fallout from the Lilly Kane murder, especially Logan Echolls, son of a movie star, Lilly Kane’s ex-boyfriend, and an enormous annoyance to Veronica and her life.
The only kid who will have anything to do with Veronica is Wallace, the new kid whom Veronica saves from retribution from an angry Latino motorcycle gang (Wallace got a couple of them arrested for shoplifing). Veronica ends up helping clear the gang members’ names and saving Wallace’s ass, earning his eternal servitude as a reward. Logan is embarrassed in the process, but the rich kids’ attempt at revenge is foiled by Weevil, the aforementioned gang’s leader.
Meanwhile, Veronica, following her father’s original suspect for the Lilly Kane murder on behalf of his adultery-suspecting wife, tails Jake to a seedy motel where he meets with an unseen person… a person who happens to be driving Lianne Mars’ car. Intriguing!
