Unknown:
"I know your secret."
-----------------------------------------------
Nadia, a high school freshman, is silently battling with an eating disorder while trying to navigate the pressures of adolescence. Her world begins to spiral when someone starts stalking her, using her deepest secrets against her. Amid the chaos, she becomes entangled in a complicated love triangle with a Daniel, a boy she's been secretly sleeping for months and Aaron his best friend, the boy she's been crushing on for months now.
When Aaron uncovers the affair, he uses it as leverage, blackmailing her into a twisted and manipulative relationship to get whatever he wants. As she struggles with guilt, fear, and control, her estranged father - a recovering addict - suddenly reappears in her life. But the damage from his past runs deep, and she wants nothing to do with him.
Dark, emotional, and deeply raw, this story explores the silent battles teenagers fight behind closed doors - from body image and identity to betrayal, trauma, and control. It's a haunting reminder of how secrets can destroy, and how strength sometimes comes from the places we least expect.
