Fan CastingThe Amateurs

The Amateurs follows five amateur crime solvers that were brought together via a website called Case Not Closed, where members post about and try to solve cold cases. Helena Kelly's disappearance and murder was a high profile case a year ago, but the police are at a standstill and the case went cold. Until Helena's sister, Aerin, posted about it on Case Not Closed and Seneca Frazier, one of its members, decided to use her spring break to investigate the murder that she followed quite closely, almost obsessively, in the news a year ago. Seneca and Aerin were joined by other CNC members Maddy Wright (Seneca's best friend on the site) and Brett Grady. As they enter the rich and privileged world of Aerin and Helena's town of Dexby, Connecticut the group soon realize that they have more in common than they thought. But, someone does not want them digging into Helena's murder, and will do anything to keep certain truths from coming to light.
