Ethan Parker has vanished. But instead of fading into the shadows, he's louder than ever.
When a disturbing video of the unassuming scholarship student at Lionsveil University goes viral, the elite dismiss it as a sick joke. Until the second one drops. Ethan Parker is settling the score—against the liars, the traitors, and every silent bystander who helped destroy his life. Ten videos. Ten targets. One ruthless digital scavenger hunt that's destined to bring the university's toxic hierarchy to its knees.
As the celebrated sports captain, Ezra Ashford has everything money and status can buy. On the surface, his and Ethan’s paths never crossed. No one suspects that the untouchable Ezra is tied to the vanished boy by a fateful past and a dangerous attraction.
To keep his perfect world from shattering, Ezra has no choice but to play Ethan’s twisted game. Yet with every riddle solved, the countdown to Video Number 10 creeps closer. And Ezra knows exactly what is at stake: his guilt is the darkest of them all.
