A play about stigmatism, friendship and justice.

Stefi and Zafer are twins about to turn 18, they have finally reached adulthood. However life is throwing up complications; Zafer is fighting illness, and Stefi is scared the past is about to turn around and bite them.

Five years ago, when they were 13 years old, their old school crew were involved in a crime. Except only one of them was accused and convicted, well-known trouble-maker and ‘bad kid’ Tom Joy. The rest of the gang kept stum and weren’t even implicated, but it tore their friendship group apart, and the town has never forgotten the notorious crime.

So when Stefi hears Tom Joy has been released from prison, and she starts receiving spooky calls from an unknown number, she knows it’s time to get the group back together so they can plan strategy, talk survival, and get their story straight.

Stefi has a plan to protect them all. But when she gathers the seven friends back together under false pretenses, the ghosts from the past are reborn. Who was really responsible for the crime? Who betrayed who? Do they deserve retribution? And will they ever be able to move on?
