It's the last year of school, and for a student like Elaine, "making it out" was the only goal. That changes when a student plummets to her untimely death. Graduation quickly slides down the to-do list when Elaine's best friend is left holding the blame.
She knows he didn't do it. How could he? Poor thing couldn't even order pizza right.
But no one else believes her. Why would they? She was nothing but a scholarship student lucky to even breathe the same air as "the spawn of the ultra-rich".
No one else but Uriel, the school's resident enigma.
Forced into an alliance, she tries to prove her friend innocent. But along the way, she navigates the web that is the community around her, linked to the past she's had to forget. In this world, the wealthy don't just have secrets-they have the power to make sure they stay buried.

"His sister however," He continued after a pause, still looking at the portrait, "then I wouldn't be so sure."
