3 Best Friends. 1 Deadly Secret.

With Ali’s wedding fast approaching, her friendship with Erin and Sophie threatens to implode with deathly consequences when a twisted teenage game comes back to haunt them.

As teenagers, Ali, Erin and Sophie are bonded by a secret, and a promise to protect each other. Years later, Ali’s wedding is looming when the three women set off for their annual couples’ trip, unaware that one final drunken game and a weekend of secrets and revelations will bring their teenage promise back to haunt them.

As the truth begins to creep out, making headlines that threaten to pull their lives apart, it puts their friendship to the ultimate test – has it been love or fear holding them together, and if one of them cracks, will any of them survive?
