When high school senior Molly Davis is reported missing, the investigation that follows puts a quiet community on edge. Baylee, Jolie, Layla, and Alice were the last people to see Molly alive, and in the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong, they made a decision that none of them were fully prepared to live with.
A psychological drama exploring guilt and its many forms, as well as what it costs four fundamentally different people to carry the same secret.
