"Freedom is a fool's paradox... even the devil gets his due, eventually". Such was the mantra of Amyra Rose Moore. Before it all went to sh*t, Amyra's life was blissfully centered. As the comely daughter of a West Coast socialite and pillar of her law school's LGBTQ-collegiate society, nothing could stop this rising L-gunner; that was... until that fatal-night. After being convicted for her involvement in her biracial girlfriend's accidental death, causing insatiable media frenzies, and death-threats to ensue. To ensure her daughter's protection, her mother (the town's mayor) struck a secret deal forcing Amyra into hard servitude at a distant boarding school located in the middle of nowhere New England-town of 'Rennington' for the duration of her sentence. Upon arrival, she notices strange occurrences happening throughout the town via its reconstruction efforts; as an outside entity, MalCORP seemed to be funding the endeavor single-handedly without question.When all seemed lost, she encounters a newly on-boarded professor who immediately took the school by storm. As she learns to adjust to her situation, an old trouble resurfaces, causing her to cower until a near-death experience prostrates her to remain at the school, as if fated. Later, Amyra is taken on a journey where she and the recently acquired teacher venture together, forming a solid friendship that churns into something unexpected. While their friendly liaison aggrandizes, the unusual occurrences happening in the woods behind the academy suddenly bring to light the deadly truth of the town's cryptic past, as well as the pernicious reasoning behind why Amyra was truly brought there.
