Story

Power can be cruel.

At an elite Washington, D.C.-adjacent university, two ruthless step-siblings will do anything to stay on top of the cutthroat social hierarchy. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Greek Life system at their school, they'll do whatever is necessary to preserve their power and reputation – even if that means seducing, the daughter of the Vice President of the United States.
