I watched the light go out of her eyes when I was four. I spent the next thirteen years learning how to put out yours."

At four years old, Aqua witnessed the impossible: his mother, the nation’s golden idol Amy Smith, murdered in cold blood. The world called it a tragedy. Aqua called it a hit.

Now seventeen, Aqua is no longer the traumatized child hiding in the shadows of a "Red Room." He is the protégé of a billionaire, a social predator with a brilliant mind and a heart made of ice. He has one goal: to infiltrate the elite Royal Crest Academy and dismantle the life of Stallone Williams—the man who killed his mother—starting with his "perfect" daughter, Ruby.

But the path to vengeance is lonely until he meets Akane, a bullied genius who sees right through his "Golden Boy" mask. Together, they form a lethal alliance to burn the Williams empire to the ground.

In a world of flashing lights and corporate lies, Aqua must decide: How much of his soul is he willing to sacrifice to reach the truth? And when the stars finally fall... who will be left to watch the sky?
