When exchange student Lena from the war-torn Eastern province vanishes, her roommate Maya discovers that the school's prestigious "Alumni Mentorship Program" is actually a sorting ground for a transatlantic human-smuggling ring—from dilapidated shelters to glittering penthouses, the blood chain runs through deans, coaches, and city officials. As Maya digs deeper, she must decide whether to play the game or burn the school down.
