Auburn Rosewood didn't even know who she was anymore, since a jumbled mess of death, blood and lies had shattered whatever meaning life had to her.
No one knew really knew what had happened that disastrous night. All they really knew was that there was blood on the walls, a corpse on the floor, and a shivering child under the staircase, her blue eyes cold and numb.
Two years later, when she embarks at the Elmwood Academy for Finer Education as an undercover detective assigned by her father to find out who is behind the stolen documents of the guarded school, things start getting ugly. In a carefully crafted mess, she is left alone to discover the difference between truths and lies, and friends and enemies. And maybe, just maybe, those threats aren't just a petty teenage dare, but rather an intricate plan to bring someone down.
Inside a world of lies, vengeance, two-faced monsters and blood-shed, Auburn has to choose her battles correctly. And she has yet to know that friendship and love can be found even in the most unexpected places, and her brutal past is maybe the cost for a better future.
So, ladies and gentleman, let the drama begin.

[completed] "What's wrong? What's wrong is that no matter how hard you try and convince me that I'm what you want, I can't believe you. I see the way you look at him. I hear it in your voice when you talk to him. Even the way you touch him is different. What's wrong is I know you love him and I can't be selfish with you. We are a mistake, Octavia"
Octavia Bradley had it easy. She has good friends, a good job, and an overall good life. Things were simple - until she gets caught in the middle of two guys and a murder investigation. Faced with the job of going undercover, Octavia must figure out if Tyler Watson is as bad as people have made him out to be, or if the sweet and caring side of him that she sees can help prove his innocence. If that wasn't chaotic enough, Octavia is also battling feelings for her best friend, Jace Hughes, a police officer who will do anything to protect her. With the drama of both Jace and Tyler in her life, will Octavia be able to go back to her simple life, or will she fall apart at the seams?
