Set in Oxford, a group of students plays mind games with each other that result in serious consequences.

Julian came from the most staid of country families, a worn copy of Hobbes’ Leviathan his guide to navigating the sinister rituals of public school life. Jake’s passage from unassuming suburbia to the dreaming spires of Oxford happened only by chance—and at great cost—while American-born Adrienne is more used to appearing in Vogue than Oxford’s cold and dusty lecture halls.

When the three of them arrive at university, it is Julian’s sister—Maggie, the righter of wrongs—who brings them all together. It is her idea to teach Jake’s boyhood tormentor a lesson—with shocking and deadly outcome.
