All it takes is one spark to start a blaze. At Foxham Prep, a posh private school for the children of DC' s elite, a single rumour has the power to ruin a life. Nobody knows that better than Bryn. She used to have it all - the perfect boyfriend, a bright future in politics, and even popularity thanks to her best friend, cheer captain Cora. Then one mistake sparked a scandal that burned it all to the ground. Now it' s the start of a new school year and the spotlight has shifted: It' s geeky Georgie, newly hot after a summer makeover, whose name is on everyone' s lips. When a rumour ignites, Georgie rockets up the school' s social hierarchy, pitting her and Cora against each other. It grants her Foxham stardom . . . but it also makes her a target. As the rumours grow and morph, blazing like wildfire through the school' s social media, all three girls' lives begin to unravel. But one person close to the drama has the power to stop the gossip in its tracks. The question is - do they even want to?
