As students start to go missing without a trace, the group must come together and uncover the dark truth hidden within the school's walls-before they become the next to disappear.
But danger isn't the only thing lurking in the dark. As fear grows, so do the tensions between them. Forbidden desires, jealousy, betrayal, and heartbreak threaten to tear the group apart from the inside. Between secrets whispered in locker rooms and kisses stolen in the shadows, nothing will ever be the same. This is a story of survival, but also of lust, lies, and the messy chaos of teenage love.
