Based on a true story.

"Ever since MacKenzie Johnson set foot in our scared halls. The world turned upside down."

The day that Scarlett Abercrombie accidentally befriends pompous, pretentious and "popular" MacKenzie Johnson, is the day when Scarlett and Carly Hollister's  lives changed forever. Life had become complicated. Friendship was not simply friendship and every smile had to be founded upon a lie. 

Darkness is everywhere. Waiting. Lurking. Scheming. Mackenzie's arrival had simply awoken it and stirred up hatred, betrayal and fear. Friendships were shattered. Trust was crumbled. Everyone's loyalty was called into question. 

As Carly and Scarlett dives deeper into the pits of society, they find that they are becoming the pretentious shell that MacKenzie is. Will they sink deeper into their own web of lies? Or will they find a silver lining in the stormy clouds of betrayal? Either way, if you even touch the flames... You will be burnt.
