The Story

Charlotte feels ordinary beside her dazzling best friends and under constant pressure from her ambitious mother at an elite boarding school. After Ariel dies by suicide, then Devon follows, Charlotte refuses the official explanation and starts looking for answers.

A mysterious clue left behind by Ariel pulls Charlotte into a trail of secrets, strange substances, and unsettling changes at the school. As she investigates, she begins to suspect that the deaths are tied to something much bigger than grief or coincidence.

The deeper Charlotte goes, the more she uncovers about the school, her friends, and the adults around her. What begins as a search for truth turns into a dangerous confrontation with hidden experiments and the possibility that the people in charge will do anything to keep their secrets buried.
