The Whiteravens Academy is an educational institution, a private school whose access is only granted to the richest kids of the city. The immense school, over 200 years old has made its name due to all its former students, who later on became CEO's, major politicians, engineers, economists. Whiteravens is the key that opens doors to a better future. But being a student at the Whiteravens Academy doesn't mean that that beautiful future, the ideal, is promised.
Every year, the class council organizes "Happenings" for the Seniors. In those happenings, students find themselves in a sort of competition between each other. The winner(s) get a grand prize. But most importantly, they get the prestige, the honour they've always wanted. They get the notice of the headmaster and get him to speak well of them. That way, an easily set future awaits them.
Edaliz Black, daughter of the high demanding CEO George Black and employment and labour lawyer Megan Black, also decides to take the easy way to a better future. Soon enough, she realizes that in order to get to her dream life she has to survive the one year long nightmare that Whiteravens will truly become.
Not too far from the Whiteravens Academy, there lies another school called the St. George Institute. A simple state school, nothing like Whiteravens. No prestige, no bright future. Nobody is promised anything. A particular student from that school, Vex Winslow, stands out the most. Son of an alcoholic single mother, he knows the taste of poverty a little bit too well. Every since he was a kid, there has only been one thing on his mind. How to make quick money? As he dives in his last schoolyear, he comes to realization that the Whiteravens Academy might be his way of quickly filling his pockets.
Guided by the law of chance, both students, coming from to different social backgrounds meet. And if they thought that their paths would never cross again, the Happenings are going to prove them otherwise...
