J'ouvre les yeux. Ça fait mal. Mais j'aperçois mon frère, Nikolai.
- Nik ?

Voilà comment je me suis retrouvée coincée dans un hôtel de luxe pour les accros en tout genre. Chacun son poison. Pour Ruby, c'est la bouffe. Pour Kendall, c'est l'excès inverse. Pour Saif, c'est la drogue (aucune originalité), comme moi. Et Brady... Brady, le beau gosse de service, c'est un grand mystère.Bref, on forme une belle bande de déglingués.
