Running away from your past isn't easy when it encompasses your entire future.
Layla Edwards is quick to learn this when she escapes hell, only to fall straight into the arms of the Devil.

Being the new girl at school is difficult enough already without the baggage of a singing career. Yet on the path of despondency and isolation, Layla soon finds unlikely allies in the form of friends.

Something sinister is brewing in the quiet shadows of the Academy, something that involves her friends. Deeply woven secrets begin to unravel and Layla is desperate to unearth them- for a price.

Follow the journey of eight teenagers as they find themselves fighting through a complicated world of secrets, heartbreak, tears, laughter, unbridled happiness and broken promises.
