Coincidence is a gamble, a deck of cards with loads of probabilities.
Coincidence leads a group of highschool teenagers into an experience that haunts them after so many years. It drags them into decisions that scar their consciences forever.
This same coincidence lures them into the drama that ensues many years later as a resultant effect.
However, it is not the regular drama; For the country is on fire, the government is burning and lives are in chains, ravaged by that same demon of their past -- Medusa.
But behold, Medusa is not a demon.
It is not an ancient Greek myth.
It is not a god or goddess.
It is not a religion.
It is not alive.
BUT IT IS HERE!
*******
Enjoy the bumpy ride!
