"The biggest lie they ever told themselves was that it takes a villain to kill a heart, when all it really takes is five teenagers who are too tired to look out."

Two years ago, Sydney Gallagher took her life.

Today, her elder sister, Maia, rules the social hierarchy of the prestigious Eastleigh College as the undisputed queen bee along with the school's golden boy, Aris Callahan.

However, beneath their pristine appearances and perfect smiles, are their circle of five starting to crumble under the weight of their individual guilt. No one is to blame for the tragedy, yet each friend remains haunted by their own failures, convinced their own limitations must be what struck the fatal blow.

To survive the trauma, each friend, bound by betrayals, rivalries and hostility must come to terms with the weight of their choices, or let their collective blame destroy the remaining lives left in Sydney's wake.
