Beneath the paint, the plaster and the cement, inside the walls, in the depths of the invisible, I make out something that I still can't name. Something ferocious as hell that occupies the entire building and that gets into my bones. Something that will soon be part of me. Welcome to the School of Here, an unsettling place that is nonetheless familiar to us all. A place full of weird, unspoken rules. The new term begins with footprints on the ceiling, mysterious charts that rank the students into 'High' or 'Low', the Ultra Secret Club, and trouble in store for the students who end up an 'odd number'. A bully called the prince controls everyone. For Iris, Madeleine, Pierre and Guy, it's an endless and cruel cycle that will reach breaking point this year.
