Octavia had never believed in convention. With her name and her status, nothing was as admirable as the family she belonged to. To the outside eye, everything for her and her family came effortlessly, and maybe they were right. Now Octavia is going to the perfect college at the end of summer, and nothing screams success more than a summer of partying.  

Forget about illicit substances, Octavia will learn that impulse will be the most addictive drug of all. Hungry for living life full of ecstasy and  freedom, Octavia will dare to challenge the humdrum existence of her town and her family. She may be hungry but sooner or later she will need to sit down to the banquet of her consequences she has left behind.
