When our personal desires conflict with the duties we are bound to? The characters in \u003ci\u003ePerfect Little Angels\u003c\/i\u003e confront these dilemmas and more in these brilliantly imagined tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a boarding school, tensions brew between students and vengeful staff.
