A haunting, deliberately ambiguous exploration of a real suicide cluster in Wales that resists easy explanation, grounded in adolescent isolation and existential dread.

Over a 5-year period in Bridgend in Wales, 79 people, many of them teenagers, committed suicide without leaving any clue as to why. This is the starting point for this mysterious social drama.
