To live is more than just staying alive. Para kay Gia Catalina Cortez, ang buhay niya ay simple lang: maging mabuting ate at maging ehemplo ng talino at liderato na nag-iiwan ng mabuting impluwensya sa marami. She only wants a life driven by purpose, holding onto the fragile hope na pasasaan pa't lilipas din 'yan.
Everything changes when she crosses paths with her professor, Erin Avery Sandoval. Erin becomes her ultimate escape, the end of a storm she has long forgotten, yet is still living somewhere inside her head.
When fragments of an old crime begin to resurface, Gia doesn't realize she is slowly unlocking her own cage. Everyone closest to her hides secrets they bury, while Erin is desperately fighting to outrun her own past.
In a world where every truth is twisted, which part of her life is a lie, and when did the wrong become her only right?
The more she digs to peel back the truth, the more it hurts. Because every layer holds a lie.
