Synopsis

When you're bound together by secrets and lies, who can you trust? Bristol, 1988. Five young graduates, eager to start their careers, pool their resources to buy a house, hoping to get ahead of the surging property market. But what begins as a hopeful venture quickly turns into the house share from hell. After a wild New Year's Eve party, they discover a body—and it's clear they're the prime suspects. Each of them harbors a past that makes trusting the police unthinkable. To protect themselves, they devise a plan—one that entangles them in a web of secrets and lies. But in a house filled with suspicion, can they trust each other? Shallow Grave meets The Secret History in this gripping psychological thriller full of twists and turns.
