Elizabeth Osborn re-explores the hole that left a part of her open. Never feeling completely whole again. The university years she once thought was a fairytale turned to be the darkest hours of her life. The music that used to be so beautiful suddenly became jumbled notes creating a horrible piece. Leaping just from one year to another, she tries to shake the feeling off. Trying to convince herself that Raymond Montgomery deserved whatever happened to him. Does death trump any sin that the victim has ever conflicted to anyone? She thinks so.
Seven years later, after trying to subdue the madness that she and her other six so-called 'friends' did, Elizabeth tries to see if they were really able to move on. Or is it slowly eating them alive just like her? Or Maybe, just maybe, Elizabeth has become the ghost of Raymond's past life. Trying to get some peace for herself and for the others involved.
The Degree of Dissonance is a story that will make you question your own morals. The one that would bring you a sudden fear of reality. This is what happens when music, obsession, friendship and love takes a twist and ends up drawing blood. The question is, how far does it actually go?
