Shocked by the grisly scene, Mina sets out to unearth the truth of what happened. But the deeper she digs, the stranger things get. The head editor of her school paper goes missing. Her best friend falls ill, plagued by nightmares. And the handsome new transfer student seems to have everyone under his thrall.
