Gifts. An assorted amount of abilities that around one in every one hundred people have. No one has ever understood how they work, and that's why Northern Light's High School for Gifted Adolescents was created. To study gifts.
Kaori Endo, a student at Northern Light's, is just fine with her life. Sure her life isn't AMAZING, but it's better than most. Sure Northern Light's feels like a prison to her, seeing as they are not allowed to leave school grounds during the week, but she gets to meet other people with gifts and get a good education. Kaori never cared to tell anyone her gift, and after a while, it just became her thing not to tell anyone her gift. But when students at Northern Lights begin to disappear, only to show up dead the next day....her gift just might come in handy for solving this mystery.
