โฆ Synopsis
Thereโs no such thing as a secret.
SOMETHING happened to Ava. The curving scar on her face is proof. But Ava would rather keep that something hiddenโburied deep in her heart and her soul.
She has her best friend Syd, and she has her tattoosโa colorful quilt, like a security blanket, over her whole bodyโand now, suddenly, she has Hailey. Beautiful, sweet Hailey, who seems to like Ava as much as she likes her. And Ava isnโt letting anything get in the way of finally, finally seeking peace. But in the woods on the outskirts of town, the traces of someone elseโs secrets lie frozen, awaiting Avaโs discoveryโand what Ava finds threatens to topple the carefully-constructed wall of normalcy that sheโs spent years building. Secrets leave scars. But when the secret in question is not your ownโdo you ignore the truth and walk away? Or do you uncover it from its shallow grave, and let it reopen old woundsโwounds that have finally begun to heal?
