Galaxy “Alex” Stern stands as the most improbable addition to Yale’s incoming freshman cohort. Brought up in the outskirts of Los Angeles by a free-spirited mother, Alex abandoned formal education early on, immersing herself in a world of dubious relationships with drug-dealing boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and darker experiences. Remarkably, by the age of twenty, she is the lone survivor of a gruesome, unsolved multiple homicide. Some may argue that she has squandered her life, yet, at her hospital bedside, Alex is presented with an unexpected opportunity: a chance to enroll in one of the world’s most prestigious universities with a full scholarship. The question remains—what’s the catch, and why her?
Even as she seeks answers to these questions, Alex descends upon New Haven, where her enigmatic benefactors assign her the task of overseeing the activities of Yale’s clandestine societies. These eight concealed “tombs” are widely recognized as the gathering places for the future elite, encompassing high-ranking politicians, influential figures in Wall Street, and major players in Hollywood. However, the covert undertakings within these societies unveil a more sinister and extraordinary reality than even the most paranoid mind could conceive.
