The school says they ran away. The ghosts say they're still here.
At the prestigious St. Jude's Prep, silence is the ultimate rule. But for Luke, James, Justin, Adam, and Louis, the silence has started to scream.
After a terrifying encounter in the school's restricted library, the boys are faced with a truth the administration has spent a year burying: Emma, Susan, Karen, Phoebe, and Alexandra never left campus. They were murdered. Now, the five girls have returned as restless spirits, trapped beneath the very ground the students walk on every day.
Guided by the haunting whispers of Emma, the boys must begin a dangerous excavation of the school's darkest secrets. Their first lead? The ancient oak tree in the center of the quad-the "Roots" where the first secret is buried.
With the Winter Solstice fast approaching and the mysterious "Killer in the Tower" watching their every move, the boys are in a race against time. They have to find the bodies, prove the crime, and stay alive. Because at St. Jude's, the only thing more dangerous than the dead is the person who made them that way.
