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

We keep driving through the sunset on the long road until we can count the houses with our fingers. The place looks completely deserted and lonely. If we stay another hour, it will be an epic horror movie. 


“Any clue where they could be?” Officer Henry asks. 


“Let's just keep driving. Hopefully we will see something,” I reply calmly - outwardly that is. Inside, I am very nervous. 


For another mile, we still drive through nothing suspicious until I see a bicycle lying by the roadside right in front of a very big mansion. 


“Look!” I shout. “The bicycle!” 


As Henry parks the car behind the bicycle, we spring out from our seats to check around if there are any signs of Colin, Jane or Greg. 


“I think we should go inside,” Officer Henry suggests. 


“It's the only way. Don't worry, I'm armed.”
