In a small, quiet town where everyone knows everyone else's secrets, a group of childhood friends is forced to confront their darkest mistake. Years ago, they covered up a murder they committed as teenagers, convinced that silence was the only way to escape the consequences. But when a series of brutal killings begins to mirror the events of that fateful night, the group's carefully constructed facade begins to crumble. As the killer gets closer, they are confronted with a chilling truth: the past is never truly buried. Someone knows what they did. Someone wants revenge. Elliott "Eli" Thatcher, haunted by the weight of the cover-up, feels guilty for his role in hiding the truth, even though he wasn't directly involved in the crime. Caleb Pierce swears he's moved on, but he's still clinging to the lies they told all those years ago. Ronan McClain, the former bully, is still the same, pushing the group to cover their tracks as the tension grows. Elena "Ellie" Harper is the one who begins to connect the dots and digs deeper into the mystery, slowly uncovering the identity of the killer. And Sophie North, the former lover of Eli, is torn between protecting her past and unearthing the truth that threatens to destroy everything. As the killer's motives become clearer, the group must reckon with the consequences of their actions and decide whether they can live with the weight of their silence-or if they will finally reveal the truth before it's too late.
