Seventeen years ago, four high school boarders Elsa, Fatima, Thea, and Kate became close friends by playing the "lying game," but for some reason the four quietly dropped out of school and quit each other's lives. Seventeen years later, when the remains of a body are found by the sea, Kate sends a "I need you" text message to three old friends, who receive the message and rush to meet Kate. What secrets were buried that year that caused the four of them to be so nervous? It turned out that Kate's father, Ambrose, committed suicide, and Kate persuaded three girlfriends to keep secrets in order not to be sent to foster families, and the four of them secretly buried Ambrose together. Now it was Ambrose's body that was found. But can things really be that simple? Just by burying a suicide corpse without authorization, how could the four of them be so secretive and break off contact with each other? Even, Aisha later went to study law specifically, just to find out what she would face if the matter was revealed; Thea drank all day to fight insomnia; Fatima, who had become a doctor, was afraid that she would be found hiding the body and ruin her future. As for Kate, not to mention, she did not dare to call the police when she was blackmailed, for fear of being implicated in this past many years ago...

There is an old saying that a lie needs to be covered up with countless lies, like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger, evolving from an insignificant little lie to a big lie. Maybe we live in the world, we always can't avoid telling some lies, and lies are also part of human relationships. Then, hopefully we won't make irreparable mistakes, and hopefully we won't make up for our mistakes with lies. Because once everything is controlled by lies, life will be ruined.
