Hijos dorados

En la Facultad de Derecho de Cornell no basta con ser un estudiante brillante. Para destacar, tienes que ser el mejor. Y para ser el mejor, tienes que conseguir la beca. Esto es algo que Vera Velasco tiene muy claro. Por eso, su plan al llegar a Cornell es sencillo: esforzarse y trabajar al máximo para ser una de las cuatro personas galardonadas con la beca. Y si en el camino se acaba aislando del resto y perdiéndose a sí misma, que así sea. Claro que lo que Vera no espera es toparse con un grupo de cuatro estudiantes que, al igual que ella, desean la beca. Todo el mundo le advierte que no se acerque, que son peligrosos, capaces de cualquier cosa por conseguir lo que quieren. Pero hay algo en Vera que le impide hacerlo. Porque le fascinan. Porque la atraen. Porque sabe que, en el fondo, son iguales.

At Cornell Law School, it's not enough to be a brilliant student. To stand out, you have to be the best. And to be the best, you have to get the scholarship. This is something that Vera Velasco is very clear about. That's why her plan when she arrives at Cornell is simple: to work hard and make the most of it to be one of the four people awarded the scholarship. And if along the way she ends up isolating herself from the rest and losing herself, so be it. Of course, what Vera doesn't expect is to run into a group of four students who, like her, want the scholarship. Everyone warns her not to get close, that they are dangerous, capable of anything to get what they want. But there is something in Vera that stops her from doing so. Because she is fascinated by them. Because they attract her. Because she knows that, deep down, they are the same.
