Set in an island paradise, four inseparable friends created the perfect life together. The friends’ children have become like siblings, living carefree, and protected in an environment based on trust and friendship. But then misfortune strikes. On a sailing trip, one of the children disappears overboard, and suddenly nothing is what it seems. The narrative structure of the show follows the point of view of a different character that is trying to discover the truth about what really happened on one tragic night.
