They were eight bright stars, burning too fast, too close.
Ten years ago, they were an inseparable constellation bound by secrets and reckless dreams. But a single, devastating betrayal, buried deep within that unwritten summer, shattered their lives and sent them scattering across the world, successful but profoundly incomplete.
Now, fate has forced an immediate, brutal eclipse: the sudden death of their Mayor demands their return to the quiet town-and to the grand estate-that witnessed their downfall.
The inevitable collision begins with Pen Casquejo, the successful architect whose quiet composure is designed to forget, and Fourth Jimenez, the heir defined by unforgiving duty and tightly controlled grief. The unresolved tension between them forms the devastating catalyst: Fourth never forgave himself for the choice he made or the forbidden love they denied, and face to face, they are forced to confront the wreckage of their past, as he looks at her like he is her lost destiny.
The rest of the constellation is unstable too: Jax Casquejo, the steady teacher, and Reg Madrigal, the renowned star, must navigate the electric tension between his quiet life and her global fame; Lau Monteza and Raf Acuzar hide deep resentments behind loud, easy banter; and Safi Lacerna and Ace Sarmiento's perfect facade is threatened by the true cost of their ambition and the secret role they played ten years ago.
Eight broken stars return to one town where the past refuses to stay buried. When the past demands a price, how much of the future are they willing to burn to pay it?
