The First Five were an elite clique at Bristol High. Amanda, Bailey, Carmen, Delta, and Zora (ABCD & Z). They once considered Ellie, their E, but she was rejected for being too bookish and a scholarship student.

So who are these elite girls?

Amanda was always about control.

Bailey was the loyal one.

Carmen was blind adoration.

Delta was infatuated with romance, home, and hearth.

Zora was obsessed with protectiveness.

What about their unwanted ‘E’?

Well…Ellie was pure ambition.

Now a decade after a tragic accident that turned the Five into Four, something sinister is waiting for them all at their high school reunion. Some have had good fortune in their lives, and others…? Not so much.
