Sypnosis

What would you do if you were one of the only people to remember someone?

After witnessing the murder of their ex-classmate Markus Raz one night, Hazel Blackwell and her friends start to notice something strange. Nobody seems to know he died that night, and stranger yet, nobody seems to remember him.

Then, a string of deaths place Woodbridge Academy at the forefront of media attention. Why are all these students dying? What's going on? But unlike the authorities, Hazel and her friends believe that these deaths aren't accidental - is there a killer on the loose?

And so, when Hazel starts getting plagued with suspicious looking invitations, and starts to notice people watching her, she starts to think that maybe she's their next target.

The friends get thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, the moral vs the immoral, hunting for answers whilst being prey themselves. Can they figure out what's going on before they're finally caught?
