At sixteen, Cynthia is the star tech of her high school’s drama department, and now that her school is putting together Sweeney Todd, she will be very busy. Hopeless in the romance department, Cyn pins for Ryan, the star of the show, but can’t even imagine how she would approach him.

Suddenly everything changes at school. Cyn’s best friend, Annie, falls madly in love, but there’s a big problem. Annie’s love is young, hot, and … the school librarian? This relationship is just plain wrong, and Cynthia is convinced Annie will soon see the light and realize this is crazy. And, there’s something not right with Mr. Gabriel. Entering the library one afternoon after rehearsal, she stumbles on a demonic sight. Quite literally. Mr. Gabriel is a demon from down below, and he’s here at school feeding off the teenage population. And Annie is madly in love with him!

Cynthia and Ryan finally connect but they can’t move their relationship to the next level with a demon in the school. As the only two who know Mr. Gabriel’s true nature, it is on them to prevent a complete soul sucking from happening at school. Cynthia must find a way to rescue Annie, deal with her feelings for Ryan, and solve the intricate technical issues that surround Sweeney Todd’s barber chair. It’s going to be a busy fall!
