And at Temple House, nothing is ever as it seems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Louisa is the new, brilliant scholarship student. Finding most of the other students at the all-girls Catholic boarding school as icy and unfamiliar as the drafty mansion, she forms a fierce bond with the intense and compelling Victoria, an outlier and student provocateur. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Their close bond is soon unsettled by the young, charismatic art teacher, Mr. Lavelle--igniting tension and obsession in the cloistered world of the school.
