It's not easy to be a student at an American university if you're only interested in science, and the kids of rich parents who surround you don't think about anything other than their own coolness. In addition, Morganville itself, where sixteen-year-old Claire came to study, is a very difficult city. People there are unreasonably happy and at the same time completely indifferent to other people's troubles, and eighty percent of students after the first two years of study disappear to God knows where. There are rumors that they are becoming victims of vampires, the real owners of the city, but Claire does not believe these rumors. She is interested in her own concerns, because the attitude of those around her becomes completely unbearable. A real terror is being launched against Claire, and she is forced to move from the hostel to a private apartment. It seems that all her troubles are behind her and she can finally breathe easy. But in Morganville, nothing can be predicted in advance; a day in this city is ready to turn into night, a bloody night at any moment...
