Desperate to re-educate their daughter (the third arrest in a year!), Ellie’s parents send her to a closed boarding house - a solid and gloomy institution with an almost prison regime far from the cities. Ellie prepares for the worst, but suddenly discovers with amazement that she is surrounded not by difficult teenagers like herself, but by the scions of the richest families in Europe, raised by governesses and traveling on private planes. At first, Ellie is more interested in school, girlfriends, boys and wonderful outfits for the school prom. And then the first murder occurs. Cimmeria Academy turns out to be a very powerful and dangerous place, where one secret leads to another - and who knows what price Ellie will pay for her insatiable curiosity.
