Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire. I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem. Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain. I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons. That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor. Kayden Lockwood. A criminal who's teaching criminal law. I can't expose what he's done without unmasking my secret life. What I can do, however, is force him to taste the poison he gave me. In the clash of titans, Kayden and I break and crumble. And I'm starting to realize this dangerous game may have no winners.
