Description

A devilish introduction by way of a brother-sister group encourages us in to the world of the elite Marlowe College, where some talented pupils are experiencing a heck of a year.One evening, in towns all over Europe, five kids disappear — simply to seem, decades later, at an unique Ny celebration with an unusual and stylish governess. Secret and gossip follow the Faust teen-agers towards the city’s many exclusive senior school, where they rise to dubious levels with the aid of their benefactor’s remarkable "presents." But whilst the pupils claw their way up — reading thoughts, removing moments, halting moment, robbing energy, influencing with synthetic elegance — they begin to endure the sideeffects of the own habits. And as they create further handles the devil, they discover strategies more surprising than their many unforgivable sins. At the same time chilling and wickedly satirical, this modern reimagining of the Faustian deal is just a powerful story of effects, desire, and final redemption.
