Ivy Sallow has just been expelled from Huntington High- a-run-of-the-mill school that prided itself on disappointing exam results and frequent struggles between students.

But Ivy has challenges of her own; navigating through the prestigious Charleston Academy proves to be difficult, and Ivy must figure out who- and why- is threatening to expose her to the school where she has a fresh start.
