The Survivor: Daily Crime

In elegant and seemingly perfect Lisbon, Portugal, a masquerade ball becomes the starting point for a chain of tragedies that will forever alter the lives of several young people. The story follows a group of students bound together by family secrets, hidden betrayals, and a murder that shatters everything they thought they knew. It all begins during a quiet vacation taken by twins Louise Villanueva Vargas and Loki Vargas alongside their classmates from the prestigious De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (CSB). But that calm is abruptly broken when tragedy strikes their family. The twins’ father, Line Vargas, dies under suspicious circumstances. Shortly thereafter, Loki Vargas is brutally murdered, taking with him a dangerous secret linked to a criminal network involving powerful families, betrayals, and truths hidden for years. The sole survivor of the attack, Susana Fernández Medina, survives a gunshot wound to the head and wakes from a coma with a new identity—Sara Medina—to protect herself from those trying to silence her. Meanwhile, in Pereira, Colombia, Bella Isabel Chávez Reyes—a brilliant and analytical young woman—discovers that her best friend, Loki, was involved in the mysterious masquerade ball. Determined to uncover the truth, she launches her own investigation, which takes her much further than she ever could have imagined. Seventeen days after the murder, Bella travels to Manila, Philippines, where she joins a group of young people connected to the same case. Alongside Ressell Vargas Monteverde, a criminology expert, as well as other allies and suspects, she begins to piece together a puzzle filled with secret letters, strange video calls, family betrayals, and a criminal organization hidden behind the Vargas surname. But someone is watching them from the shadows. And that someone isn’t finished yet. Because now… Bella could be the next victim.
