𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐴 𝑆𝐼𝑁𝐶𝐿𝐴𝐼𝑅, who was driven by the desire to engage with her peers, had always been adventurous. She would pounce at the opportunity to embark on an expedition. However, after a gruesome encounter at the Washington Manor, resulting in the disappearance of Hannah and Beth, Aria shut herself off from the world. Despite her best attempts to uplift her friends, she battled her own demons. A year later, they reunited at the same fateful location. Profound feelings for a boy resurfaced: albeit ugly memories haunted her. As the night progresses, Aria must tackle sentiments from her past and survive alongside those she has known most of her life. Are they who they say they are? Is Aria who she says she is?

Refusing to soak in all his guilt, Josh instituted the gathering in commemoration of his loss. Engulfed in the wretched embrace of his isolation, he was consumed by fury and the thirst for revenge. No amount of affection could prevent his path of vindication, no one's - not even the girl he had been crushing on for many years.

As they segregate themselves into pairs, due to an abiding strain, they face a series of obstacles that dictate their survival rate.
