"No! Please! Leave me alone!" a young girl cowers in the corner in her backyard. A man approaches. The father. He lifts his arm, and a sickening slap sounds. The girl screams in pain. The mother is nowhere to be seen. No where to help her child. The girl's loyal and faithful dog, Aspen, is chained to a tree, barking crazily, straining to reach her master. "Don't you ever disobey me again!" The father shouts. The girl nods shakily, and tries to stand. The father shoves her down again. "Stay down!" The girl raises her tear-streaked face, one cheek red from the slap mark her father left. The girl isn't crying anymore. Suddenly, the wail of police sirens sound. The father freezes just as several police officers burst into the yard, guns raised. "Mister Sam Davis Jarvis! You are under arrest for child abuse!" The father's face goes cold and the mother rushes out, clutching her chest. She falls on her knees next to the young girl and hugs her close. She glares at her husband, her eyes bright with unshed tears. Aspen is whining, howling. One of the police officers unties the dog, and she hurtles towards her master, licking at her face, and whimpering. The police officers grab each of the father's arms and drag him off. One stays behind and comforts the hysterical woman and her quiet, abused child. "Are you both alright, ma'am?" The police officer asks. "We are now, thank you." The woman cries. He nods, gets up and tips his cap to the mother. Then he leaves, his dark blue coat fluttering out behind him. Tien, Ellie, Elizabeth, Elly, Makenna, Alex, Luke and Jeremy have been best friends for the longest time ever. All brought together by their backgrounds. When the 8 friends go missing one day everyone struggles to find them. The 8 Sins find their way to a strange place. As they are split, half of them loose their memories. The memories must be restored before they can be used against them. Unless they can solve this mystery, they may never be reunited again.
