Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Byakuya Togami grew up together, since both came from well-known and repsected families. But one day, Ishimaru's grandfather, the current Prime Minister did something unforgivable, and had his family shunned from the rest of the world. The Ishimaru name was tainted and stepped on, stripped of their honour. Yet Kiyotaka was ok with that, cause he still has his best friend Byakuya, right? Wrong. No longer being important or respected, Byakuya oushed Taka away, telling him that he would never be caught dead hanging around someone as low and filthy as an Ishimaru.
Taka was heart broken. From that moment on, he did everything he could to get smarter, get better, in hopes of one day restoring his family's name. He worked so hard, he became the Ultimate Moral Compass, and was scouted by the greatest school of all Hope's Peak.
Now he's stuck in a killing game, his childhood best friend stuck in there with him but acting like Taka was just dirt under his feet.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru was completely and utterly alone in this game.
Now he, and all the other Ultimates trapped with him, must find a way to escape alive, but that's not the only battle Kiyotaka is facing.
He must struggle with the constant weight of being shamed for who his family is, must try and overcome the obstacle that was once his best friend, and Taka must continue fighting a deadly war inside his own head, that he's been fighting for years. Each day is getting harder to get though, and he can tell he is losing this battle. He needs his friend back, he needs to keep going, to never give up, the other's are counting on him.
Will Taka be able to finally beat all the inner turmoil inside of him, or will he succumb to despair and give up every last bit of hoe he ever clung to.
In this killing game, there is no escape from despair, but together, as one, mabye they can get out, or they'll all die in the process, but the hope they had, will never be extinguished, no matter what happends!
