____________________________________________________________
Jessica and Linda are closer than sisters. Jessica has always been the lead; Linda, the supporting role. When they arrive at Wilde, an elite university at the heart of Dublin, it seems like nothing will change.
But then Mark enters the picture: an older, brooding, compelling philosophy student. When he and Linda start dating, tensions between Jessica and Linda spill over. And as the true extent of Mark's control is uncovered, tragedy becomes inevitable – and eventually strikes.
Years later, Jessica is still grappling with her role in what happened. But when an opportunity to set the record straight arises, can she make things right?
