All that glitters in this town isn't gold...
Seventeen-year-old Haruna Catherine Mitsukai has three goals:
1. Be liked by everyone.
2. Graduate from Shady Glenn Academy (with Honours, of course).
3. Get accepted into UBC (along with Mani, the gorgeous, super-rich boyfriend)—and get out of Campbelton forever.
Ryu Debiru has only one:
1. Survive.
But some goals are difficult to achieve.

Although Haruna's goals are suddenly under threat by this unwelcome turn of events, Ryu's priorities extend beyond the Academy. That's 'cause Ryu's biggest assignment of all could mean the difference between life and death...
