Who is Jina?

The stupid woman who ruined a young man's career?

The weird loner whose university boyfriend thinks that she has a victim complex?

The naïve country girl who ignored a friend's cry for help?

To understand who she really is, Jina must return to Anjin University, and to the toxic culture that destroyed the lives of many female students - including Ha Yuri, who died in mysterious circumstances not long before she left. Somewhere within Jina's memories lies the truth about what happened to them both all those years ago...
