Synopsis

16-year-old Devon Mackintosh has always felt like an alien at Keaton, the prestigious California boarding school perched above the Pacific except for one crazy night, her first week as a freshman. That was the night she met Hutch, a legacy student with built-in popularity who somehow understood her. But Keaton is turned upside down when Hutch apparently commits suicide. Bound by her oath of confidentiality, and tortured by her unrequited love, she finds herself on a solitary mission to get to the bottom of Hutch's death.
