In the back alleys of Hell's Kitchen, Lya Gomez grew up alongside four boys - Michael, John, Tommy, and Shakes. They believed nothing could shake the friendship that bound them, until a summer prank ended in tragedy.

"One summer. One mistake. A childhood burned."

The boys were sent to Wilkinson, where they encountered the cruelest face of violence. Lya stayed outside, but carried the guilt and absence of them forever - unaware that her own father's blood hid the worst of secrets.

Years later, when the past comes knocking again, Lya discovers that the worst monster was always inside her own home.

Because no one truly escaped.

And when the past resurfaces, hell is no longer a place.

It's a memory that never dies.
