SYNOPSIS
Nico (Diego Montejo) is an intelligent and introverted fifteen-year-old who is bullied at school because his parents own the town’s only funeral home. Hoping to make a friend, he signs up for a cultural exchange program.
There is only one problem: the exchange student turns out to be a girl. Gabrielle (Iratxe Emparan) is a defiant young French woman who is used to almost anything except living surrounded by the dead.
When Pol (Pepe Lorente), a gravestone carver, tells them one of the many mysterious stories hidden within the local cemetery, they decide to investigate. Their discovery of a body and a collection of stolen jewelry goes far beyond anything they expected. When they return to the scene with Nico’s parents, played by Alexandra Jiménez and Víctor Clavijo, everything has disappeared and, naturally, no one believes them. From that moment on, Gabi and Nico begin receiving threats and are pursued just as they are being harassed by their usual bullies, Marc, Sofía and Raquel, played by Adrián Checa, Bruna González and Melani. The situation forces all five of them to flee together.
Now that Marc, Sofía and Raquel also know what it feels like to be threatened, they have no choice but to join the investigation. Gabi, Nico, Marc, Sofía and Raquel form an unlikely group determined to uncover the truth, even if doing so means entering the dark adult world waiting for them.
