Description
Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. Their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.
But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality, they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil. What happens when a search for the sublime leads not to enlightenment, but to murder?
