“Let’s not die today. Not even to make things easier for our parents.”
Five very different students at a private high school are brought together under mysterious circumstances, and just barely escape alive from a building collapse. Soon one of them has died in a second freak accident. Little by little the remaining teens piece together a shocking but plausible theory: Their parents are working together to kill them all.
Is it true? If so, why? And most important, can they figure out a way to save themselves? As the urgency builds, this unlikely group will gradually bond—some in love, all in friendship—while struggling to stay safe against all odds.
