English synopsis

Lost Girls Don’t Talk continues the YA thriller series, @buriedpodies, that seeks to solve previously unsolved murders and the relationship tangles of modern high school students.

Chilling suspense in bleak suburban neighborhoods, gripping plot twists, and heartwarming friendships.

Rafael, the creator of the @buriedpodies podcast, receives a request to investigate an old missing person case, and Oona agrees to help along with her friend Kaisla. Five years ago, Mari Kaski, a talented young artist from Pori, vanished without a trace on her graduation day. Now Mari’s family has received a postcard sent five years ago, that says: Lost girls don’t talk.

Oona and Rafael start digging into Mari’s background and the events leading up to her disappearance, but Kaisla seems distracted. Oona is bothered by the coolness between them, yet there never seems to be a right moment for the awkward conversation about a certain kiss. So Oona throws herself fully into solving the case, trying to forget the tangle of personal relationships.

At Mayor Isle High School, an urban legend circulates about a secret staircase, something Mari Kaski was obsessively interested in before she disappeared. What secret was Mari guarding, and what happened to her?

As the truth slowly unravels, Oona realizes that, like Mari, she too may have trusted the wrong people. And sometimes, mistakes come at a price that’s far too high...
