Er ist die größte Gefahr für ihr Herz … und ihre einzige Chance zu überleben. Für Clementine Calder ist die Academy ihrer Familie, eine Schule auf einer abgelegenen Insel für gefährliche Paranormale, auch ihr Zuhause. Von den Geistern der Insel und den dunklen Geheimnissen ihrer Familie verfolgt träumt sie davon, weit weg von Calder zu sein – und von Jude Abernathy-Lee, dem Typen, der ihr das Herz gebrochen hat.

La maggior parte delle scuole aspira all'eccellenza. Ma non la Calder Academy. Rifugio dei reietti, di chi infrange le regole o perde il controllo, la scuola è l'incubo a occhi aperti di ogni creatura sovrannaturale. E lo sa bene Clementine, che è intrappolata sull'isola dove sorge l'accademia e non ha alcuna possibilità di scappare. Ogni diciassettenne pensa che la madre sia una tiranna, ma la sua è proprio la temibile preside della scuola, e Clementine sa di essere un bersaglio facile. Per questo evita per quanto possibile sia le situazioni pericolose che i suoi coetanei, bravissimi a seminare il caos.
