Kdo dnes poslouchá kazety? A má si je on vůbec na čem přehrát? Ale když Clay ze zvědavosti zasune první kazetu do sterea, svět se mu obrátí vzhůru nohama. Z reproduktorů se totiž ozve hlas Hannah Bakerové – jeho spolužačky, která spáchala sebevraždu. Proč tedy znovu vstupuje do jeho života? A navíc ho svým způsobem obviňuje z toho, co se stalo... proč? To je otázka, která se mu stále převrací v hlavě a na těch sedmi kazetách je 13 důvodů...
