Reese Hawthorne's high school reign ended the moment she disappeared mysteriously for four months. Now she's back, and the social scene has done a complete flip, the worst of them all her 'dethroning' by her very own best friend. But Reese has never been one to back down, and will do whatever it takes to reclaim her position. She enlists the help of Benjamin Astor (with a little blackmail), the former 'king' of the school. But secrets threaten to spill at any moment, and Reese soon finds herself tangled up with more than she could ever imagine.
