Normally, Madison Chase wouldn't consider being asked to join a study group a big deal, but she quickly finds out this is no ordinary group. With one meeting, she's entangled in a web of misunderstandings and lies that lead to a series of petty crimes. The stickier her fingers become, the more guilt eats away till she cries foul and asks to be released. The only problem is once in the club, always in the club...

As Madison tries to unravel the ties that bind her, she must contend with her police detective mother who's suspicious of her odd behavior, and the cute boy who's investigating the case for the school newspaper. Will Madison be able to walk away unscathed? Or will the strings of her actions trap her forever?
