Gwendolyn and Estella have always been as close as sisters can be. Growing up in Jakarta In a wealthy, eminent, and sometimes deceitful family, they've relied on only each other for support.

As Gwendolyn struggles to regain consciousness, she desperately retraces her memories, trying to uncover the moment that led to this brutal act.
