The Plot

In The It Girl, Hannah's life is overshadowed by a tragic event from her past: the mysterious death of her university friend April, which she discovered a decade ago. Initially, Hannah did not question her own testimony, believing she had played a crucial role in bringing a murderer to justice. However, as time passes, she begins to doubt the validity of her memories and the implications they had on the life of an innocent man now imprisoned for a crime he may not have committed.

Driven by a desire for redemption, Hannah embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind April's death. This journey is fraught with tension as she must navigate the murky waters of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. As she delves deeper into the past, she realises that the killer may be more familiar than she ever anticipated, placing her own life in jeopardy.
