There are two types of secrets one keeps. The one you dare not let out and the ones you take with you to your grave... We chose the latter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We wore the perfect facade.
They were the perfect lies. So perfect, we eventually started believing them and in a twinkle of an eye, everything changed.

Six teenagers and six secrets they never thought were going to be let out.

When Ayammah Udoh gets actively involved in the lives of her seniors at school, things begin to change...

To some, she was a classmate
To others, she was  more...

Secrets spilling, trusts breaking and relationships, failing. 
They couldn't stop it. Things had spun out of control and they were never gonna be the same.

There is no escaping. There is no forgiveness. There is no happy ending. Lies are lies, no matter how little, no matter how harmless, no matter how white. Lies are the building blocks of all evil.
