Thus, she enlists a seemingly hapless college professor, Myron Tarasyn, to help her get the inside college scoop and ferret out the truth. Tarasyn, in turn, has some issues of his own that need sorting. An unlikely pair, they must deal with a host of challenging academics and significant others, who are most uncooperative – if not worse! Quite unwittingly, Tarasyn becomes privy to a number of nasty secrets, sordid relationships and shady actions that promise to shed light on a most suspicious death. Views: 132
