An open umbrella indoors. A black cat crossing your path. Lighting three cigarettes from one match. Superstitions most people ignore. But at Van Buren University, breaking them means death.
Sophomore journalist Jerry Williams is used to chasing stories, but when he links a string of campus deaths to shattered superstitions, no one believes him. His editor kills the story. The university wants him silenced. But when his girlfriend barely survives a brush with death, Jerry knows this is no coincidence.
With Friday the 13th looming, Jerry races to uncover the truth before more students die. Is it a curse? A killer? Or something even worse? One thing is certain—on this campus, bad luck isn’t just unlucky. It’s deadly.
