Fernanda Montero, a teenager hooked on online horror stories, wakes bound in a dark forest cabin. Her captor is the woman who teaches her literature, scarred by her own violent history and harassed for months by Fernanda's circle of friends at their Opus Dei school. The motives, tied to a derelict building, a clandestine cult and a teenage romance, run deeper than revenge.
