A popular breakup. Two new faces. And a thousand lies buried beneath the pristine halls of Iliad International.
Betrayal. Manipulation. Secrets. Power plays. Hormonal chaos. Reckless decisions. Just another day in the lives of teenagers trying to survive adolescence. Except... this isn't just high school drama.
Something darker has settled over Neocity-an invisible threat creeping into their fast-paced lives. A suffocating mix of fear and guilty pleasure.
Because for teenagers, there's one thing more terrifying than death itself:
Social fallout.
So what happens when that fear is weaponized?
They get warped into their own nefarious games, struggling not to be swallowed by the tide-a tide called consequences.
Twisted with something colder. Something more sinister.
A homicide case is reported on school grounds.
Private information is leaked with surgical precision.
And the carefully spun web of truth and deception begins to unravel-strand by strand.
As trust dissolves and masks fall, the blame game begins, and each player must confront the foul cards they've played.
Can they rise above their grudges, their trauma, their immaturity-before it's too late?
Some will falter. Some will survive.
That's how the world works.
Or does it?
