Torin Snow, a college sophomore, can't catch a break. Between his newly public sexuality, constant escapism, and violent bullying, he's prepared to just end it all. But one night, he makes a wish for his life to be more interesting, safe, and happy life. When he wakes the next day, he's in a house that he doesn't recognize, wearing clothes he doesn't own, and with the gift of witchcraft. In this strange alternative life, he meets people he knows, yet they're much more magical. He feels lost and confused, until he meets a witch named Caedmon Norwood- the exact name of the guy he's been crushing on for months.
