Her mother has invited some guests called Blackthorn. It turns out that it is a spy school for boys and about fifteen of them are going to stay at the Gallagher Academy for a semester. At first it seems that there is no information on them at all. Yet as she gets involved, she seems to not only learn more about them, but also develop more questions. There are so many questions she is asking; yet no one will give her answers. After a shocking photograph of her father with one of her teachers and wearing a shirt that says Blackthorn, the truth starts to be revealed. Suddenly there is a Code Black at the school and Cammie is blamed for it. Not many people believe that she is innocent and soon Cammie is searching for more answers with the help of her friends. The strange thing is nothing like this has happened until the boys arrived.
