Some secrets are kept to protect you. Others are kept to destroy you.
At the prestigious top of the class, the light is blinding. But in the hallways of this high school, the darkest shadows are cast by those standing closest to the flame.
Five students walk these corridors, each bound by a delicate, invisible thread of dependency, resentment, and hidden trauma.
There is the boy who has everything, completely unaware that his perfect life is an insult to someone else's survival. There is the protector whose desperate thirst for love is slowly twisting him into the very monster he used to fight. There is the girl whose forgotten past is trying to scream its way through the cracks of a beautiful lie. There is the brother drowning in a quiet, bitter rage, and the perfect daughter suffocating under a crown that is far too heavy to wear.
When a new transfer student threatens the school's academic hierarchy, the fragile balance shatters.
As a toxic game of psychological warfare begins, their lights start to flicker. Friends become tormentors. Saviors become threats. And the boundaries of what they will do to survive each other begin to blur.
Step into the tunnel. But remember-once the light goes out, you cannot choose who you become in the dark.
