Isabelle Brahms desperately wants out of obscure private college she is placed in "to keep her safe". She is bored, day in and day out, until she meets Connor Thompson. Level-headed and driven, he's just what Isabelle needs... if only she could trust him. Like her, Connor is making his own attempt to get away, but from a different world entirely. Connor's world is dark and dangerous, and the price he might have to pay to get out depends on Isabelle's life.
