"Welcome to the circus, are you a spectator, or a lion?"
When Maggie Parker is offered a place at Vidre Grammar, located in New York, a school for the children of high society's rich and powerful elite with the security to match, she sees it as a chance to escape her tragic past in Melbourne. Its only when she arrives and is ambushed by spoilt rich kids with their own social hierarchy she realizes that she needs to stay on her toes.
Just when she thinks she's over the worst of it, a memory from her past shows up, with a shadowy childhood and secrets of his own.
But there's something the boy isn't telling her, so its up to Maggie to fix his mistakes, potentially stopping a national crisis in the process. What she thought was going to be a typical "new girl" story becomes anything but, forcing her to decide whether to spectate from the sidelines, or become a lion, putting her life on the line, once again, for those she loves. Priorities change from surviving the school year, to surviving the next twelve hours. But hey, the show must go wrong!
Reminding her that no matter how far you run, you can't escape your past, not for long anyway.
and sometimes, perhaps memories can be people.
So, is Maggie a lion or a spectator? And can she save the circus before it's too late?
