When the Circle Fades - Episode 1 - Emily

Through the aftermath of tragedy, a promise is born. Five childhood friends pledge their love and loyalty to each other by the use of a single Greek word, "PHILIA." The promise is binding, an allegiance that not only spans time and distance, but also betrayal.

It's been years since the circle was called together, years since the girls shared a secret, much less a smile. But one text message at the start of their senior year changes everything: PHILIA. Sunday 4pm.

For the sake of one of their own, indiscretions are placed on hold, enemies are sidelined.

One by one, the girls will learn the power of a promise: The sacrifice of love, the freedom found in forgiveness, and the willingness to risk it all in the name of friendship.
