Soon, the serene lives of five lifelong friends come crashing together when they realize the remains recently discovered can link them all to a fateful night (and killing) over thirty years ago.

When guilt and fear threaten to destroy their lives, the same friends begin to question each other’s loyalty and are forced to ask what would they be willing to do in order to protect their secret from being revealed? Every attempt they make to keep their secret hidden is in vain as they realize that no matter what they do they cannot stop the truth from dangerously unfolding before them.
