A young man traverses New York City in search of meaningful intimacy.

The Lost Catacombs of Bomarzo are rumored to hold a fortune in jewels for anyone brave enough to dig them up. When a daring (or maybe foolhardy) group of young adventurers dare to unearth the hidden graves they manage to find the treasure. But also awaken a buried demon who's looking for blood, and for someone to take his place in the darkness.

Targeted and bullie on the first day of elite school, Emma finds herself protected by Bea - the rumored heir to a mafia empire and dangerously hard to look away from. As their friendship grows, Emma begins to realize this is no coincidence at all. Years ago, a small act of kindness saved Bea; now Bea is trying to pull Emma out of the storm's center. Caught between family, school, friendship, and her feelings for Bea, Emma learns that claiming her heart may take more than courage - it might take broken rules, bruised knuckles, and choosing to fight back.
