Se acerca la Navidad y las chicas del internado Spence esperan las vacaciones. Gemma está deseando volver a Londres, asistir a bailes con preciosos vestidos, alternar con el guapo Simon Middleton ... Pero sus visiones no dejan de perturbarla: tres chicas vestidas de blanco a las que les ha sucedido algo horrible. Pronto averigua que los secretos que desenterró con sus amigas no desaparecerán tan fácilmente
