Synopsis

[Proof of concept at the moment, please give feedback if you feel inclined!]

Dark academia, but make it sexy.

East St. Jude, Vermont. Spring, 2018. The illustrious Hawthorne University has suffered a terrible tragedy. Elliot Hayes floats in a nihilistic fever dream, Ekene Ahmadi still has the gall to believe in an ethical life, James Monaghan balks at such lofty notions, and Hugh Carmichael has been found dead. According to all credible sources, Carmichael hit his head and fell victim to the stiff waters of Whitstone Creek. Clear and simple.

You don’t really believe that, do you?
