When Elara Vance, a tenacious American scholarship student, arrives at the historic St. Valerian's College in Cambridge, she expects a quiet life of academic rigor.

As Tom digs deeper, old neighborhood ties pull him into a dangerous web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Everyone has something to hide; Jimmy's gambling debts, Ann's complicated marriage, even the cop investigating the case.
