About
Every Circle of Friends has its Secrets
Five friends go out for one last hiking trip before their lives separate them from each other. However a secret resurfaces that results in a grim ending for one of the group. The ending of this story is not the point so much as the experiences while getting there. Sometimes your friends aren't the people you think they are. Sometimes, it can be hard to say goodbye.
