In the Federated States of Amero, a federal judge must apply the "look-through" doctrine to a death penalty appeal, peeling back judicial rulings to uncover the true crime buried beneath a prestigious boarding school's darkest secret. Twenty years after a brutal hazing ritual, victim and perpetrator have reversed roles, but the truth is far more terrifying than a simple tale of revenge. This story is a biopsy of the legal system, the elite class, and the lifelong metastasis of adolescent cruelty.
