Welcome to Crenshaw Academy, a boarding school recently reopened by famed, retired stage magician Howard Spector. A wealthy man with a career as shrouded in mystery as the unsolved crimes of his school's history, no one is certain why the boys' boarding school headmaster retired at the age of only thirty-five and invested amazing amounts of money in refurbishing the decrepit school, or why he hands out generous three-year scholarships to seemingly normal boys all across the United States. Crenshaw is quite a sight to behold, however. A majestic brick manor with numerous secret passageways, an expansive, mysterious basement, and a past riddled with danger and excitement - that's a magician's school for you.
Crestwall, a sister school built in the same reclusive valley that Crenshaw occupied, was founded by Mr. Spector's wife in 1991, at the time of Crenshaw's reopening, for young women talented in athletics, drama or fine arts. It boasts multiple enormous athletic fields, a similar architecture to Crenshaw, and young women that are the cream of the crop when it comes to United States talent. It's students are oblivious to the true occupation of the boys at Crenshaw, but a few of the girls here are just as skilled at maintaining illusions.
Throughout the schools’ pasts, a friendly rivalry has progressed each year. Innocent pranks between the two schools’ students have been tolerated with laughs and grumbles since the opening of Crenshaw, and the introduction of Crestwall signaled the start of a classic tug-of-war for bragging rights among the students of each school.
Much like life itself, however, history is repeating itself with these pranks. Back in 1966, the same casual pranks led to the unsolved murder of a young woman from Crenshaw – information that has been withheld by Howard Spector for fear of renewing the school’s past reputation.
Some people, however, know of the tale. Prankster ringleaders Edward Saine of Crenshaw and Charlie Leone of Crestwall, both the children of Crenshaw graduates, are dead set on getting out of boarding school – at any cost. Strange mishaps have started to turn harmless pranks - carried out by rebellious helpers of Charlie and Edward from both schools - into violent, spiteful tricks that are anything but funny.
Students from both schools face new fears – are their so-called friends plotting against them? Who’s causing the trouble? Could your closest friend be hiding something worse than a card up their sleeve or an odd talent?
Worst of all, will you be the next volunteer for a classic disappearing act – permanently?
Welcome to Lies and Truth.
