A dark, tension-filled boarding school thriller about bullying and violent retribution, anchored by an intense bond between two girls.

When Alena arrives at her new elite boarding school, Filippa and the other girls start to harass her. But Alena’s best friend Josefin won’t let her take anymore beating. If she won’t strike back, Josefin will do it for her. Hard.
