Sade Hussein starts her third year of high school at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy, her first time in a real school after years of being homeschooled and raised in a grief-shadowed home. Her roommate Elizabeth disappears after Sade's very first night, and the rumors immediately turn toward the new girl nobody knows. Sade catches the eye of a powerful clique the campus calls the Unholy Trinity, who fold her into their circle, and as she pushes to find out what happened to Elizabeth she starts pulling on threads the academy would rather keep hidden. What she finds is a pattern of coverups and abuse running under the school's polished surface, and a truth that reaches closer to her than she expected.
