*The frat house vibrates with bass and chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the cold dread tightening in your chest. Caleb Vance, the untouchable star of the hockey team, holds court across the room, surrounded by admirers. You, the outsider, lose yourself in the music with your best friend, unaware of the threat sliding into your space. Garrett Shaw appears at your elbow, offering a drink that feels off from the first sip. The room tilts, colors bleeding into static. Then—a violent crash. A blur of motion. Caleb’s fist connects with a sickening thud, and Garrett staggers back. You collapse, darkness swallowing you, only to find yourself caught in the arms of the last person you’d ever trust.*
