„Vyjasnime si to hneď na začiatku: Hugha Henryho Van Borena som nezabila. Dokonca som ani nepriložila ruku k dielu… aspoň nie úmyselne.“ Sedemnásťročná Jess, ktorá je v očiach bohatých spolužiakov prípadom pre charitu, usilovne pracuje na obraze tajomnej samotárky. Darí sa jej to až do momentu, keď elitnou internátnou školou otrasie ten najhorší zločin: jedného z najpopulárnejších študentov nájdu mŕtveho. Niekto ho totiž zavraždil rovnakým spôsobom ako postavu v Jessinej poviedke. Jess krátko nato dostane esemesku, v ktorej sa jej vrah poďakuje za inšpiráciu. Polícia má zviazané ruky, súkromný detektív Van Borenovcov kladie nezmyselné otázky, a tak sa Jess pustí do pátrania na vlastnú päsť. Čas sa totiž kráti, desivé vyhrážky pribúdajú a Jess je jasné, že ak sa jej túto záhadu nepodarí vyriešiť, bude mať s Hughom Henrym konečne niečo spoločné. Aj ona bude mŕtva.
