whitmore academy was a splendor of wonder and unease. katie phan had grown comfortable in this maze, as long as her best friend, vivi nakamura, was beside her. thanks to vivi's friendship with the spontaneous sofia taylor, they joined her ghost-hunting club alongside four other eager students. although it did not last long, the friendship stayed, and katie wished for time to stop.
but seasons change without warning and katie finds herself unable to understand why time marches forward in such aggressive rhythms. was it vivi's new boyfriend? was it the stress of senior year? or was sofia's friendship with vivi getting in her way?

cracks begin to show following the death of a close friend, as six ghost-hunting students navigate grief, love, and jealousy in their own twisted ways.
