Jessica and Linda have been best friends since the first day of school. Now eighteen, the two girls have come to Wilde - an elite university in the heart of Dublin. Jessica thrives immediately, and finds herself at the heart of a new circle of friends.
But then Mark enters the picture. When Linda and Mark start dating, Jessica is disturbed by how quickly she seems to have fallen under this abrasive, charismatic man's control. And it turns out that Mark's influence is not limited to Linda alone. Jessica soon finds out that her whole group of friends are keeping secrets for him - culminating in a terrible tragedy that strikes at the end of their first year.
Years later, Jessica is still grappling with what happened at Wilde. And when Mark resurfaces, she knows she owes it to herself - and Linda - to set the record straight once and for all.
