Fresh off a betrayal by her ex, her sister, and her best friend, Everett "Evie" Riley lands at Camden Academy craving a fresh start.

But when she's mistakenly placed in an all-boys dorm, gossip spreads fast - and her only option is to embrace her new bad-girl rep.

Enter Salem Grayson: grumpy, emo, and reluctantly helpful. They strike a deal - he’ll teach her how to be bad, if she helps him look good for his estranged parents.
