The Wave is based on a true incident that occurred in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long The Wave , with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action", sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of The Wave and realize they must stop it before it's too late.

"Alors, tu crois qu'il n'y a que Dieu qui voit les âmes, Basil ? Écarte le rideau et tu verras la mienne." Dorian Gray prononce ces mots avec une dureté cruelle. Hallward, le peintre, s'inquiète de la folie de Dorian. Ce dernier, dans un acte impulsif, arrache le rideau du tableau et révèle son propre portrait. L'horreur s'empare de Hallward en découvrant le visage hideux de Dorian sur la toile, bien que sa beauté stupéfiante ne soit pas encore entièrement altérée. Les reflets dorés de sa chevelure et la sensualité de sa bouche persistent, tandis que ses yeux, bien que bouffis, conservent une lueur de leur ancien éclat. Le tableau, signé par Hallward, soulève des questions troublantes sur l'identité et la beauté. Dorian est confronté à une idée monstrueuse, mêlant fascination et peur, alors qu'il réalise que son image est en train de se dégrader, tandis que lui-même reste inchangé.
