Teresa reveals to Rita that twenty years ago, she was pregnant with her teacher's child. Mati, Rita's friend, knew this startling truth and started blackmailing Teresa.

When Teresa came to confront Mati about the blackmail, a tragic accident occurred, leading to Mati falling from the balcony.

Twenty years later, when all the friends reunite, Lena learns the truth about the accident. She urges Teresa to come forward to the police and reveal everything, as it was an accidental occurrence and Teresa did not push her intentionally. However, Teresa puts a tablet in Lena's drink, which eventually leads to her death. 

Rita, devastated by the loss of her friend and the betrayal by another, must now confront the harsh reality of what her friends are capable of.
