Technically all characters are over the age of 18, but the large age gap does bring to mind pedophilic behavior.

The premise of the book is that a much older man enters a college campus and sets up a cult-like following there, often having sex with the college-age women. Devonte's age is never explicitly given, but he is referred to as being "older".

Nick's drink is drugged and he passes out at a party.

The tea that Devonte gives to his followers has hallucinogenic properties and there is one explicit scene where Jordyn describes its effects.

Veronica attempts to drug Jordyn at the end of the book, but the tea is switched and Veronica is drugged instead.
