Grace Winslow and Professor Catherine Harrow don't know each other.
Not yet.

Grace is a guarded freshman trying to outrun her mother's legacy. Catherine is a sharp, cold psychology professor who teaches a course called Psychology of Human Intimacy.

After their first class, something shifts. Something quiet. Something dangerous.

When a family connection is unexpectedly revealed-through a woman they've both learned to love and resent-boundaries begin to blur.

What begins in silence becomes obsession.
