Harley Matthews is used to fading into the background. But all that changes when he's selected to compete in the Rising Stars programme for gifted and talented students. Harley's world is soon turned upside down as he's thrust into the school's limelight. So much for laying low.

But with new-found supporters comes envious enemies. And when he finds a chalk outline of his body drawn at the bottom of the school stairs, he has to face the reality that someone wants him out of the competition - permanently. But the underdog deserves to win, right? Remember, this story is a lie.
