Trinity Academy is a school for social elites and high-class nobles, therefore it is rather convenient to have a social ladder within the premises. In the middle of the food chain, is Isla Reynolds with her boyfriend and only friend. The problem in that equation, is that said friend and boyfriend's friendship seems to be brewing into something more behind Isla's back. Isla creates a plan to make her last year in Trinity, a year to be remembered.
With a sharp tongue that hides a web of lies, Isla doesn't open up to people. But when she devices a strategy for love, what happens when it all crumbles beneath her feet?
Putting her trust in a boy makes her realize that opening up to people is a big mistake. And Isla is mad. Feeling like there's no way out, and fueled by fury, she turns to a sheet of paper. She creates a list that her lips can not utter aloud.
So, who wants to know the first rule of killing somebody and not getting caught?
