There's a new director at UCLA's Young Research Library. Ward DeWitt's reputation has preceded him: everywhere he works, half the librarians resign in the first year. Jamie Brodie, Kristen Beach, and Liz Nguyen can't figure out why he was hired over far more qualified candidates. As they dig into his history, some disturbing facts come to light—but there doesn't seem to be anything serious enough to remove DeWitt from his position. Then tragedy strikes, and the librarians of YRL come together to take back their library. Can they get DeWitt out? Or will Jamie, Kristen, and Liz be forced to resign, too?
