Description

The Girls meets The Dry in this tense and atmospheric drama about loyalty, lies and obsession Mo, Cali, Jude. Three teenagers befriend each other on the white cliffs, thinking they'll save each other. Within months, two of them are dead and the third is scarred for life. Ten years later, documentary-maker Tarek Zayat and his film crew are in town, asking difficult questions, looking for secrets in the silence around that fateful summer. Because in the shadow of the white cliffs it's easy for stories, histories and people to get lost. And in a small town, the truth is something that must be carefully unburied - in case it buries you.
