“San Francisco is a mad city; inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty.”
-Rudard Kipling
This world, this world is cold
But you don’t, you don’t have to go
You’re feeling sad you’re feeling lonely
Welcome to a city where the marvelous Golden Gate Bridge hovers above an equally marvelous people, a constant reminder that this place is truly a city built by the hands of a god. In recent years, it has been overshadowed by its southern sibling, Hollywood. The true residents of San Francisco know, however, that their beloved city really is the true Californian dream. A dream that no one understands better then the students at Adia Academy, San Francisco's most prestigious boarding school. The students accepted at Adia Academy are all different. They all, however, have secrets, scandals, and a whole lot of growing up to do before they enter the real world.
And no one seems to care
Your mother is gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bare
So what happens when a scandal erupts through the elegant marble halls of Adia Academy? Hell breaks loose, and the staff will do anything to it cover up. If you think covering up a teacher-student affair, drug smuggling, grade buyoff's, drunken parties, and the biggest school rivalry since Princeton vs. Harvard is easy, well, then you've got another thing coming. Now what kind of scandal could possibly be so horrible as to turn the city's most educated young people into savage animals...?
But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Thomas Firestone was the school's unofficial mascot. He came from the wealthy Firestone family, his grades were impeccable, and he was a friend to everyone, a handsome young athlete, the perfect boyfriend, and a great brother. He was the guy everyone looked up to and wanted to party with. So why would someone so perfect want to take his own life? On March 23rd of last year, Thomas Firestone was pronounced dead in his family's Hampton vacation villa. The cause of death was announced as suicide the next day. His family was pulled into utter turmoil; their whole lives changed forever. Thomas had left all the people he inspired day to day with nothing but questions, and no way of finding answers. Or so they thought.
Your days you say they’re way too long
And your nights you can’t sleep at all
And you’re not sure what you’re waiting for
Rumors had been flying around the school before his death about a secret affair he was having with a certain married art teacher. Seeing that it was Thomas, no one believed it, not even his beloved girlfriend of three years. Still, it left the school unsettled and without notice to the students, the art teacher was removed from faculty. No one had the need to look into the accusations. Why taint a student’s name whose death had already done so much to the people around him?
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
As a new year starts the school is still masked by the death. Much like the city itself, each student's mind is covered with a thick fog. Everyone has questions, and the faculty is still attempting to cover up the dirty little secrets that Thomas left behind. The secrets that where right under everyone’s nose the whole time. Havoc has been breaking out recently, as people look for someone to blame, they just can’t deal with the fact that Thomas’s life was taken by his own hand. The students are trying to press through daily life without that great smile of his. Between his girlfriend, siblings, and best friends there is enough sorrow to cover the entire Golden Gate Bridge and tie it with a bow.
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don’t stop looking you’re one step closer
Don’t stop searching it’s not over...
Take a step through the mahogany doors, but beware you are taking a step into adolescent turmoil. To all those brave enough, welcome to Adia Academy, welcome to four years of work and hardship, welcome to the largest scandal since Watergate.
Welcome to San Francisco, where the cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
