STAGECRAFT

"I would kill for that role."

During audition season, the theatre geeks at Whispering Hills Country Day School repeat that sentiment over and over.

But for senior Hannah Cross, killing for a role might be a reality thanks to her best friend Skylar. Just as everything in her world is falling into place, Hannah finds herself in the biggest dilemma of her young life. She's crushing it at school. She's just been accepted at NYU. She's dating Brody Wolcott-the hot jock she's had a crush on since freshmen year. And most importantly, Hannah is finally stepping out from under queen bee Skylar's shadow.

So, Hannah really didn't need to be involved in a hit-and-run accident, a crash that left musical favorite Zoe in a coma and fellow classmate Will dead. And if Skylar took care of any suspicions, why are the police at school asking questions? And what will happen if the detectives connect this accident to what happened upstate at theatre camp...with Katie Greco?

Can Hannah escape Skylar's manipulation and the mistakes of her past? Does her moral compass point true North when she could lose everything?
