When Emma Vaile's parents leave on a mysterious business trip, it gives her the perfect excuse to be a rebellious teen.

But then her best friend stops talking to her, the police crash her party and Emma finds herself in the hands of a new guardian, Bennett Stern, and on a plane to his museum-like mansion in New England.

After enrolling at Thatcher Academy, Emma settles in by making friends with the popular crowd.

She has memories of Thatcher she can't explain and strange visions are haunting her.

Emma doesn't trust anyone any more - except maybe Bennett.

But he's about to reveal a ghostly secret to her. One that will explain the visions . . . and make Emma fear for her life.
