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

“Tell me Ivy, why do you want to kill Laurel?” 


“Are you seriously asking me this?” 


“Yes! We have already done so much damage and as time passes, we keep committing more crimes and exposing ourselves.” 


“Wake up Kelvin! There's nothing left anymore to hide. Infinity has already been exposed.” 


I'm really holding myself back from giving her the slap she deserves. She isn't going to stop and think things through. All these, to what end? 


“So why kill Laurel?” I ask, hoping that will cause her to think for a moment. 


“We are already going to jail and that is all because of Laurel. It will be a waste keeping her alive.” 


We start raising voices at each other. 


“Ivy, I want you to get two things straight here. Laurel wasn't the one who exposed Infinity, you are. And you said something about 'we' going to jail? I am not going to jail Ivy, you are.”
