Three former friends bound by a bloody secret for the rest of their lives are seeking for a fresh start in the international city of London, and try to bury what happened deep, deep down under the ground...

... but for how long before their pasts come right back to haunt them? 

Main characters

The three childhood friends, who met 23 years ago as their mothers gave birth to them a few days apart in the same town, have their fates tied together when they came back to their hometown, only to leave with a life-altering secret. A few years later, they all see each other in London, and their secret is more than before exposed.

After coming to England to live with her aunt in the small town of Saint Ives, Alexia suffered the painful loss of her twin sister, Maria (or more commonly called Mapi) following a robbery gone wrong, which got her to join the police and famously arrest her sister's murderer.

Only child and an orphan, Ingrid was brought to England in her 18th birthday, only to opt out of the system and try and live on her own. She managed to graduate from university despite her three jobs to survive, and is now looking for a job in journalism.

Seemingly cold and distant, Ingrid has trouble expressing her thoughts and feelings - which she never was allowed to have her entire life.

FLASHBACK

Her hands full of blood, Leah gasps.

While Leah couldn't move anymore, she just watches as Ingrid helps grabbing the dead person's feet, as both her and Alexia lift it with difficulty, before dropping it in the hole they've spent hours to dig. 

Setting her jaw, Alexia just says:

"After tonight, we are not allowed to talk about it anymore. We will pack our bags and leave the city, and never come back."

The other two nod.
