Mina Ansari's acceptance into the prestigious Aurelia Academy is a dream come true-a testament to her hard work and her immigrant parents' sacrifices. Determined to make the most of this opportunity, Mina arrives ready to excel, unaware that Aurelia is far from an ordinary school. Beneath its polished halls and elite reputation lies a world of secrets, one that Mina is about to unwittingly step into.

Among the students is Samira Khan, better known as Sage-a girl with a sharp tongue, an unapproachable demeanor, and a gaze that seems to cut straight through Mina. From the moment they meet, Sage's disdain for Mina is palpable. What Mina doesn't know is that there's far more to Sage's hostility than meets the eye. Bound by circumstances she cannot escape, Sage keeps Mina at arm's length, hiding a deeper connection that neither of them fully understands.

When Mina is assigned as Sage's tutor for the second year-a year Sage is repeating-tensions rise. Mina's determination to help her is met with cold indifference, and Sage's growing fixation on Mina becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. Beneath her hostility lies a conflict she can never share-a secret that threatens to shatter the fragile balance of both their lives.

As Mina and Sage's lives become increasingly intertwined, a storm of unspoken emotions, hidden motives, and dark truths begins to brew. Mina remains unaware of the forces at play, but the closer she gets to Sage, the more she senses something lurking beneath the surface-something she can't quite explain but feels drawn to all the same.
