Nat, unable to go home for Christmas break, is alone on the deserted campus. Alone -- until he meets Grace and Izzie Zorn, identical twin sisters who are utterly different. Nat enters a seductive new world of private Caribbean islands and personal jets.

When classes resume, Nat and the twins fall under the influence of a charismatic philosophy professor with dangerous ideas and a secret of his own. His teachings will be used to justify a bold scheme, plotted deep beneath the school in the lair of a forgotten social club. But someone in the underground shadows is listening, someone who thinks he deserves a future just as bright as Nat's. Suddenly, a risky but basically innocent game will take a horrifying turn.

Abrahams weaves an intricate plot, relentless tension, stunning reversals, and vividly rendered characters into a masterpiece of psychological suspense.
