Trailer



 

The show explores the lives of three seemingly incompatible teenagers who find themselves bound together by a supernatural force. We see a person named Obé wearing flamed glasses. His voice is rather haunting and looks like his intentions are pure evil. We see Sofiane using dark forces to get things done, so does this mean that he is the embodiment of an evil force? Power is a toxic drug that is extremely addictive and it seems like Sofiane needs to understand that. The agenda was to find his lost brother, but since he gets killed, how will the trio avenge his death?
