A killer is stalking the teenagers of Flushing, Queens. As he hunts his first victim, Paula Daking has a vision of the murder. Terrified, she tries to tell herself it was just a nightmare, but it soon becomes clear that it was all-too real. After learning that the victim is her best friend's little sister, Vanessa Bondovski reaches out to her old friends to reform the amateur detective club they created in junior high. As they come together to take on a case with much higher stakes than their previous adventures, the girls realize they may be in over their heads. Soon, Amanda Chan's closest friends are murdered one by one. This development leaves her more determined than ever to solve the case and catch the killer, but what will she do when it becomes clear that the killer is closer than anyone thought?

She does not crave closeness. She survives without it because she knows what it costs. Detached. Controlled. Unreadable. The world knows her as efficient and unfeeling-no one knows what it costs her to remain that way. He enters her life as nothing more than a position above hers. A superior. A stranger. Calm, playful, and impossible to understand. What begins as professional distance sharpens into conflict. Silence turns heavy. Words turn dangerous. Somewhere between power and resistance, a murder begins to surface-quiet, unresolved, and far too close for comfort. Bittersweetness is a psychological slow-burn about control, mistrust, and how strangers collide long before they understand why.

I didn't mean to be involved in a murder. I only meant to survive a week-long corporate retreat on a private island where the Wi-Fi was unreliable and everyone hated each other politely. When our host turns up dead before the ferry returns, the rest of us are stranded with no outside contact, too many secrets, and one inconvenient fact: I may not be remembering the night correctly. As accusations circulate and alliances crack, I start documenting everything-mostly to prove I'm innocent, partly because someone needs to keep track of the lies. The problem is, the more I write, the clearer it becomes that everyone has a reason to kill him. Including me. So the real question isn't who did it. It's whether I can trust myself when I think I know the answer.

"Our father...he didn't die during the operation" "Brother, what you are saying, is that true?" "If what I have said isn't true, then why would I say it" --- Nathaniel, Adrien, Lucus, Felix, Lucien, Sire, Aziel, Renzo and Salde, are called the "9 abandoned sons of Syvenko family", not officially. After the death of their father, Alex Syvenko, who was said to have mysteriously died during an operation when the boys were young, they weren't treated right by their paternal family. Their maternal family wasn't in the picture, obviously paid off by their paternal family, mother having died while giving birth. The only reason they were kept in the Syvenko family was that the Syvenko family values their image a lot though the Syvenko family ignored them, completely, except for paying for them and keeping them so they wouldn't fight for inheritance. But the boys knew something was wrong with the story of their father's death. --- "There is only one mission in our life-The destruction of Theodore family" (TW: Contains blood, gore, killing and many more.)
