I survived a crime we swore to bury. Now someone is killing us to make sure the truth stays dead.

The phone call comes at midnight, shattering ten years of carefully constructed silence.

Jilly is dead. Murdered—just like the others.

I haven’t spoken to any of them since we scattered after college. Since that night, when blood soaked into carpets and our lives split into before and after. We made a pact back then—to stay away, to let the past rot in silence.

But promises don’t matter when someone starts hunting the survivors.

Now we’re all back in Miami. Five women bound by trauma, secrets, and a crime we never truly spoke about. The messages arrive with chilling precision. Someone knows what happened that night. Someone wants us to remember.

I tell myself to focus on the present—the police investigation, the forced reunion, the careful lies we’ve built our adult lives on. But the cracks are showing. Old statements don’t align. Memories contradict each other. Details surface that should’ve stayed buried.

Some secrets are too dangerous to uncover.
Some friendships are built on lies so deep they become identity.
And some people will kill to make sure the truth never comes out.

The past is closing in.
The truth is coming—whether I’m ready or not.
And this time, I might not survive it.
