The Secret History unfolds within a prestigious New England college, where an outsider, Richard Papen, becomes enchanted by an exclusive group of classics students under the tutelage of a charismatic professor.

When murder shatters their fragile camaraderie, the group’s cohesion dissolves, entangling them in guilt, paranoia, and irreversible consequences.
