Five friends. Four houses. One perfect life.Phoebe Joplin has never questioned the world her parents built: a secluded community where she and her friends were raised to be smarter, stronger, and better than anyone else. No distractions. No dangers. No secrets.Until the night of their graduation.When one of them dies under impossible circumstances, Phee starts to pull at the edges of her perfect life—and finds something far more terrifying than she ever imagined.Because this place isn’t a sanctuary.It’s a cage.And no one who discovers the truth ever leaves it alive.From Eisner-nominated writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and rising horror artist Heather Vaughan, this paranoia-laced, socially conscious horror mystery will leave you questioning reality…and reveal that this crafted world is more of a nightmare than the idealistic dream its residents were expecting.
