A revenge plot exposes twisted secrets, forcing Sascha, Natalie, and Boris to confront the consequences of their actions. Before long, they question the limits of their dedication to one another.
Senior year is proving to be not enough time to right their wrongs. Not when half the school is awaiting their inevitable fall from grace.
