Four friends, living in an incestuous relationship, find their lives forever changed, when one of their group BELLA, is brutally assaulted. During her first recital, for DEAN DAVISON, the head of her University and his friend DOCTOR CLARK, the Head of the Surgery Department, she is savagely attacked.

The Police investigation, led by Detectives DAVE JOHNSON and ROSS LUKE, believe that Bella's lovers, MICHAEL and JED are the ones responsible. Bella, her memory scrambled by the cocktail of drug, remembers little and is not believed. Socially alienated and hounded by the police, the three friends search for answers.

Risking their freedom and their every lives, they search for the ones responsible. Deciding life isn't worth living without each other, they make a PACT. If it looks like they will be imprisoned or separated, they'd rather be dead, than go on alone.

Dragged into their investigation is a young Police Officer named BRETT HALL. He is being trained as a detective and is handed Bella's case, to solve. Together, they search for the truth, while the evil, hides behind the cloak of respectability. Will they be successful and survive? Or will the PACT become the only way out for the four outcast.

THE PREMISE

Two men with a depraved view of life have over the years gotten away with murder, by exploiting the less fortunate. This story is about a young woman, in a relationship with two men and another young woman, which is outside the norm. Because of this, Bella one of the two girls in the relationship, is drugged, raped and left for dead. She survives, but no one believes her account of what she saw. The police naturally go after the low-life friends of Bella, rather than risk trouble, by interviewing the elite of local society.

Fearing Bella isn't getting better, her three friends set out to find the people responsible and bring them to justice. With the help of a young, soon to be detective, they try to piece together what occurred. This of course brings them to the attention of the people responsible, who want their depraved, hidden lives, kept secret. As the fear of being either imprisoned or separated grows, the friend join in a Pact to end their lives, if being together is no longer possible.

When the young detective helping them, is murdered, the other hardened detectives, rethink their view of what happened. Now with the police helping Bella's friends, the untouchable become worried. It becomes a race against time, to gather the evidence to arrest the two murderers.

They fearing arrest, strike out at Bella and her friends. Kirra, is attacked and by luck, kills the two attackers. Fearing they will all go to jail, the friends dump the murderers bodies in a river. Several months later, the police discover the bodies and fearing arrest, the four friends decide to carry out their pact.

The police discovering their plan, race to stop them, which turns into a disaster, when one of the detectives and two of the friends die instead.

THE NEMESIS

Bella and her friends have two Nemesis. Doctor Clark and Dean Davison are two men with a twisted appetite for rape and murder. Both men are highly intelligent and well respected in the community. This allows them free reign, to carry out their torture of their victims, with a certain immunity. They are cunning and push the case, that Bella's friends Jed and Michael were responsible for attacked on Bella. Later they try to murder both Kirra and Bella, to further incriminate Jed and Michael.

THE HERO AND THE TWIST

Detective Hall is the hero. He goes against the other detectives to confront Doctor Clark and Dean Davison. The twist is, he pursues them until they murder him and his girlfriend, causing their undoing. This is not a happy ending story, where good overcomes evil. It is true life, warts and all.
