Ace Alcantara was found dead on the school rooftop.
Lara de Luna was the one who saw him last.
After years of silent bullying, Lara thought the worst was finally over-but the night Ace is brutally murdered, she becomes the key witness in a case that refuses to leave her alone. The police have questions. Her classmates have accusations. And someone is watching her closely, making sure she stays silent.
As whispers spread through the halls and suspicion tightens around her, Lara realizes the truth is far more dangerous than the lies being told. Powerful people pull strings behind closed doors. Evidence disappears. Stories shift. And the deeper Lara digs, the clearer it becomes that Ace's death is connected to something much bigger than schoolyard cruelty.
Someone wants a convenient suspect.
Someone wants the truth buried.
And Lara is standing in the way.
With every step closer to the answers, the danger escalates-and the question becomes terrifyingly clear:
What really happened on the rooftop that night?
And how far will someone go to make sure Lara never finds out?
