Rowan Harrington is the epitome of high school royalty-beautiful, wealthy, and feared by many. With her maroon hair and striking green eyes, she commands attention wherever she goes. Living in a luxurious mansion with her powerful businessman father and his kind-hearted husband, Levi, Rowan's life seems perfect on the surface. However, beneath her confident exterior lies a turbulent relationship with her family and a deep-seated resentment towards Levi, whom she blames for her parents' separation. As Rowan navigates her senior year, she maintains her reign over the school with her loyal crew, including her popular cousin Mason and her sweet, innocent cousin Aly. But her world is shaken when Jace, a new student from the poorer part of the city, arrives. Rowan sees an opportunity to assert her dominance and invites Jace into her world, but her intentions are far from pure. Jace, unaware of Rowan's true nature, finds himself caught in the crossfire of high school politics and personal vendettas. As he tries to fit in, he becomes the target of Rowan's manipulative games and Mason's jealousy. Meanwhile, Amary, Rowan's kind-hearted rival, stands as a beacon of hope and integrity, challenging Rowan's cruel ways. In this tale of power, privilege, and deception, Rowan must confront her own insecurities and the consequences of her actions. Will she continue down a path of destruction, or will she find redemption through the unlikely friendships she forms along the way?
