"Stop worrying about me Faye! I'll be fine...I'll get my life together..."
That was the last words Faye Chiang heard from her little sister Romy before the eventual night of January first, 1999. Romy jumped off her balcony, ending her life in a drugged state. What was left behind was an already broken family now in pieces.
The Chiang family was already the unlucky ones, only put together for survival and necessity rather than love. The family being riddled with misfortunes and secrets, it was only rational to have whispers and gossip to be about the notoriously unlucky or even cursed family- the family to have infelicity follow them wherever they go.
The eldest sister, Faye Chiang, struggling to cope with her sister's suicide is filled with all the questions she has..and all the questions left unanswered. She herself is tired of all the secrets buried deep within this sudden death and suspects something more sinister with the cause of her sister's death rather than suicide.
Somethings are better left secret, but others are about to be brought into the light.
