Don't call her a ghostwriter, Annalee is a professional term paper auteur. Then she meets Sigurd, a cocky grad student who hires her to pen his "chore" assignments while he works on a mysterious thesis. When the two become lovers, they find themselves embroiled in a blood-sport romance that leads to betrayal. When a stricken Annalee exposes their arrangement, they must confront Sigurd's professor Martie Hodge. They strike a deal saving their skins, but Martie is exacting in her price. Driven by pride, desire, and intellectual longing, "516 (five sixteen)" is a revenge romance for brainiacs, a mash note to the mind.
