In the quiet but thriving town of Ameaje, secrets run deeper than anyone dares to admit. Six teenagers - strangers at first - are drawn together after a tragic night at the town's celebration, a cryptic message appears on the ancient statue in the square.
As lies unravel, friendships form, and hidden truths claw their way to the surface, they discover that no one - not even their parents, the mayor, or themselves - is innocent.
Because in Ameaje, everyone's a victim. Everyone's a liar.
