Summary:
In the hallowed halls of Hampden College in Vermont, an exclusive circle of six students emerges from the larger student body. Guided by their enigmatic professor Julian, this select group is obsessed with ancient Greek lore, language, and pushing societal norms. However, this academic paradise isn't as pristine as it appears. Richard Papen, an outsider who gets drawn into the group, discovers that they share a dark secret: together, they have killed one of their own, a student named Bunny. The group's initial unity in covering up their grim act begins to crack under the weight of guilt and paranoia. the narrative delves into each character's psyche, revealing their complexities, vulnerabilities, and the lengths they are willing to go to maintain their illusions. As the group's cohesion deteriorates, another tragedy becomes almost inevitable. The story serves as a chilling reminder: beneath the veneer of civilization, darker instincts can thrive.
