Charlottes attacks have everyone on high alerteveryone except Lee Fisher, the closeted son of the US president. Lee has other things to worry about, like keeping his Secret Service detail from finding out about his crush on Nico, the eccentric, Shakespeare-obsessed new boy at school.

But when attacks start happening at his school, Lee realizes hes Charlottes next target. Even worse, Nico may be part of Charlottes plan too.
