Walking on thin ice

A complex, tragic romantic crime mystery"

The fog does not hide faces... it hides what lies behind them.

London, 2010. In a city built upon secrets, the Griffith family fell from the heights of their royal-like sanctity into the depths of scandal. Yet, the scandal was nothing more than the outer husk of a very bitter fruit.

In the midst of the chaos, move Christopher and Sydra. He, with his golden hair and eyes resembling tropical forests; she, with her delicate features and cautious stillness. Strangers look at them and believe they are witnessing a portrait of perfect affection... but in this story, beauty is the ultimate "trap."

Why does the air tremble when they draw near? And why do their words of endearment sound like silent gunshots?

Behind closed doors, the features of "brother" and "sister" dissolve, leaving behind an eerie void. There is a bond between them stronger than blood, deeper than hatred, and more terrifying than loss. They do not walk upon thin ice to escape something... perhaps they walk in search of the moment the ice finally breaks, so they may drown together.

And while they are occupied with their dangerous game, there is a "shadow" with a finger pressing on the trigger, waiting for the moment the final mask falls.
