"and that's aaliyah, aaliyah davis. she's actually a kook, believe it or not. she's one of the nicest ones you'll probably ever meet. she hangs out with sarah and sienna pretty much all the time - or whenever she's not with her asshole boyfriend, connor. i don't know her all that well, but if you ask me, i'd say she's too good for him.. and there's definitely something weird going on with her family.." - narration from john b

the davis family was the epitome of "perfect",as perceived by everyone on kildare island. laura and ramirez were high school sweethearts, and got married at 20 years old. they both came from wealthy families, and it's all they've ever known. they had their first daughter, isabella, when they were 22, and had aaliyah 3 years later, when they were 25.

aaliyah had the perfect childhood. the white picket fence, the family trips all over the world, the expensive toys - she had it all. she had the endless sleepovers with her best friend sienna, who she'd known since practically birth. she had the private education, the fancy dinners and gifts to celebrate academic achievements. she had everything one could ever hope to dream of.

she even had the perfect boyfriend, connor blackwell. his family was another one of the most powerful on figure 8. they had started dating freshman year, when their families arranged for their meeting. it was an instant connection, and their love was soft, and pure - or so aaliyah thought.

turns out, what society seems as perfect, is the dollhouse version of what people want you to see. what they don't show however, are the ugly truths that lie hidden behind stone walls. the lies that run deep in family roots. the secret conversations and feelings. the interactions that actually happen between supposed loved ones behind closed doors.

and turns out, aaliyah has had quite enough of the white collar lies, and the manipulation. what happens when she finds herself enveloped into a treasure hunt with the known pogues of the island? and what happens when aaliyah's own truth's start to unravel and a certain curly-haired pogue comes to her rescue?

will she finally let the reins loose, and let go of all she's ever known? or will the reality of it all violently thrust her back into the lies she once tried escaping from?
