Yin se infiltrará en el internado, como una alumna más, para averiguar cuál es la identidad de la siniestra criatura y evitar que mate a más estudiantes. ¿Logrará pasar desapercibida entre sus nuevos compañeros, acostumbrados a una vida de lujos, y desenredar la intrincada maraña de relaciones engañosas y amigas que no son lo que parecen? El deva al que debe dar caza puede esconderse tras el rostro de cualquiera de ellos, incluido Alain, un joven misterioso que oculta muchos secretos.
