Colin Jonas is accused of a crime he clearly did not commit. As if that isn't bad enough, his pretend girlfriend never cared enough to help him out. He's lost all hope, depressed and alone, but somehow help from the least expected comes along.

Laurel Polanski takes it upon herself to help someone who she has no relation with even after learning the truth. At the cost of a promise she made to her best friend, she can't tell anyone the secret but she refuses to sweep the truth under the carpet.

It is left for her to find the balance between justice and friendship. Can she honestly prove her loyalty and to whom?

Our Secret

Slowly, I open my eyes to the world I've been away from for what seems to be a very long time. How long was I unconscious? And where am I? 


I stand up from the cold tiled floor and realize that I'm not in a familiar place. Everything is covered in white sheets like an abandoned room. The last thing I remember is opening the door while I was in Laurel's apartment to see who was knocking, and then I was pushed, and then… 


We've been kidnapped, but why? Something tells me that this is the plan of the people who kidnapped Laurel the first time. I don't want to believe it's Ivy, I convince my mind that Ivy can't do such to Laurel but no other person is capable of doing something like this. 


I go to the door but it's locked. “Hello! Is anyone there?” I shout, hoping someone might hear me.
