When the sky darkens and the rain begins to fall, seventeen-year-old Lara Virtucio thinks it's just another gloomy afternoon at school. Quiet, reserved, and often the target of bullies, Lara has learned to endure her days in silence-waiting for her father, waiting for time to pass, waiting for something in her life to finally change.
But one evening, while stranded on the school rooftop during a sudden downpour, she witnesses something she was never meant to see: her classmate Ace brutally murdered by a masked figure in the rain.
Paralyzed by fear, Lara hides her presence-until her phone rings, giving her away. The killer sees her.
And now, she's not just a witness. She's a target.
As the investigation unfolds and dark secrets about her classmates begin to surface, Lara realizes that Ace's death is only the beginning. Someone is watching her, following her every move-and the truth behind the murder may be closer to her than she dares to believe.
Caught between fear and the desperate need for answers, Lara must uncover who the killer is... before she becomes the next name on their list.
