Thomas Mann

Trapped in a small, conservative Southern town with his father, Ethan Wate (ALDEN EHRENREICH) desperately wants to escape. Then the beautiful Lena Duchannes (ALICE ENGLERT) arrives at his school, and mysterious events begin to occur. Lena has a secret: She is a Caster with powers beyond her control. Worse, when she reaches her 16th birthday, she will be claimed by either the Light or the Dark.

A 16-year-old international assassin yearning for a "normal" adolescence fakes her own death and enrols as a senior in a suburban high school. She quickly learns that being popular can be more painful than getting water-boarded.
