But at Essex, Cals classmates only see his cheap clothes and old iPhone. They mock his accent, and cant believe hes never left the country, or heard of The Hamptons. Cal, at his breaking point, is about to give up and return to Mississippi when he learns about a secret society on campus -- the key to becoming Essex royalty. Cal knows hes not exactly secret society material, but to his surprise, he finds an unlikely champion in the handsome, charismatic, and slightly dangerous Luke Kim. As they get swept up in the mystery and glamour of the Rush process, Cal finds himself falling in love for the first time.

Because nothing at Essex -- not even Cals first love -- is quite what it seems.
