Clay Jensen is really excited when he receives an anonymous package addressed to him. He doesn't remain so for long though. Inside the package are thirteen tapes each labeled with a number.

These tapes are addressed to those thirteen people who led her to suicide. And Clay is one of those reasons why.

It’s about peer pressure or bullying leading to suicidal and its aftermath on an individual. Hannah Baker committed suicide for an unknown reason and prior to what she did; she made audiotapes and sent it to those people who are part of the reason why she desires to die. Clay Jensen is one of those who made it in her list. Clay was sure that Hannah was absurd of accusing him of being accountable for her death.
