About This Book
A privileged young man, after drinking, causes a road accident that forces him to confront possible consequences; simultaneously a woman of fashionable circles clashes with her mother, exposing personal frictions. Their separate lives converge as the narrative shifts from city streets to a remote island where fugitives and acts of vengeance create a crucible of survival and moral reckoning. The plot alternates between social settings and rugged isolation, testing loyalties, revealing character under pressure, and exploring themes of responsibility, retribution, and the costs of impulsive choices.
