      Che cosa sta succedendo all'Università di Cambridge? Perché tante morti tra gli studenti? Quando una lunga serie di apparenti suicidi scuote il prestigioso ateneo, l'agente Lacey Flint viene immediatamente inviata sul luogo da Scotland Yard. Deve interpretare sotto copertura la parte di una ragazza vulnerabile che riprende gli studi dopo un esaurimento nervoso. Lacey inizia subito a indagare entrando in contatto con le compagne delle vittime e scopre che tutte, prima di togliersi la vita in modo cruento, avevano sofferto di depressione e stati d'ansia, accompagnati da disturbi del sonno e incubi ricorrenti in cui le loro paure più profonde parevano oltremodo reali. Alcune sembravano drogate ed erano sparite per giorni senza poi ricordare dove fossero state, sostenendo che qualcuno le spiasse nella loro vita quotidiana. Aiutata da una professoressa di psicologia che aveva avuto in cura molte di loro, Lacey è determinata a scoprire che cosa si celi dietro tutto questo orrore, rischiando a sua volta di venire risucchiata in un vortice di terrore e distruzione.
