A group of people find themselves in the middle of a field, with no idea where they are. Stripped of their memories and identities, they can only rely on each other. Strangely, they can all just vaguely grasp a fragment of memories of warm sunny days and a kind smile before it disappears from their minds. But when night falls, they realize that something is there, watching them from the shadows, with evil intent. A race against time, to discover the truth before it is too late.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
