Meet Ethan Lederer. Hes got a great girlfriend, and hes in all honor classes. Life is almost normal until Lydia Krane shows up in chemistry class. Shes not really Ethans type-shes some variety of goth with peculiar markings up and down her arms. But he feels an attraction to her he cant explain. As they get to know each other, Ethan finds himself opening up in ways he never could with his girlfriend or his family. Lydia is so different. She loves theater just like Ethan. Theyre even going to star together in the school play, a Hollywood version of Macbeth. But suddenly Lydia changes. Why does she seem so attached and desperate? It doesnt take long for Ethan to realize that Lydia will do anything to keep him, the boy of her dreams.,
