On a DVD found near her lifeless body, the woman chronicles a year-and-a-half-long ordeal of monstrous abuse at the hands of three sadistic tormentors.

With Elise now dead by uncertain means, homicide detective Milo Sturgis is assigned to probe the hallowed halls of Windsor Prep Academy. And if ever he could use Dr. Alex Delaware?s psychological prowess, it?s now.Allegations of rape, assault, and possibly murder at this esteemed institution renowned for molding Ivy Leaguers make for a social and political time bomb.

But power and position are not easily surrendered, for that?s when the best and the brightest turn brutal and ugly.
