Fayman Preparatory School stands shrouded in prestige and mystery, its ivy-clad walls hiding secrets whispered through generations. Five enigmatic board members rule with iron authority, each carrying secrets of their own. Every year, they promise to unleash only the most exceptional students into the world, yet rumors swirl about the unseen fate awaiting those deemed unworthy. What terrible fate befalls those who fail to meet their standards? As we delve into the shadowy pasts that led each of them to Fayman, the arrival of six orphans, forced to enroll after their orphanage relocates, sets destiny in motion.
