Synopsis

Lies can bury the past. But some secrets refuse to stay dead.

When a missing girl reopens an old case, Detectives Temeke and Santiago are pulled into a chilling mystery where nothing and no one is what they seem.

Four years after the apparent suicide of Alice Delgado, daughter of a celebrated racing driver, her younger sister Lily vanishes. When two of Lily’s classmates are found dead, Detectives David Temeke and Malin Santiago are pulled into a chilling case that leads them to the secluded world of an elite boarding school.

There, behind a façade of privilege and silence, they uncover whispers of occult rituals and a mysterious ancient book – clues that ignite a disturbing chain of events and unravel long-buried truths.

As tensions mount within the department and the body count rises, Temeke and Santiago must race to stop a killer before another young life is lost.
