Upon her arrival, fellow student Joy suddenly leaves the school. When Joy's friends, Nina's new housemates, confront her about Joy's disappearance, suspicion quickly turns to the draconian groundskeeper of Anubis House, Victor. Nina and the other students embark on a quest to find out exactly what happened to Joy, while uncovering a world of mystery in the process.
