Others, The

Description: FOUR WOMEN. ONE FATAL PROMISE. Dina, Ronit, Naama and Sheila: the Others. As students, they chose to be different - bound by a pact never to have children. Even as their friendship fell apart, Sheila kept her promise. Now, years later, a serial killer is on the loose in Tel Aviv. Each victim is found with a baby doll glued to their hands and 'mother' carved into their forehead. Sheila suspects that she alone knows the killer's motive. The vow the Others made lands her at the heart of the murder investigation - but is she the next victim, or the primary suspect?
