As senior year comes to end, students at Las Encinas are looking forward to the future. However, before they cross the finish line, they must make choices that will have a lasting impact on their lives. A journey where love, passion, and friendship will be more prevalent than ever, but also where jealousy, secrets, and the desire for vengeance will be present, threatening to ruin lives that were truly just beginning.
