Rory Abrams' life has only ever revolved around one thing: her parents. Every decision she has ever made was to ensure her parents' happiness- for better, or for worse. University presents her with an opportunity she has never had before: the ability to breathe outside her parents' control. However, some things are easier said than done.

Ethan Rhodes has lived with pain so long, it's become a welcome companion. He's a ghost on campus, with a cloud hanging over him, so dark, it drives others away. University allows him a temporary distraction from his chaotic life. But Ethan is surviving on borrowed time, desperately looking for a getaway before the clock runs out.

Ethan and Rory cross paths at Wickrage University, drained by life to the point of ruin. As their lives begin to interweave, and they find comfort in one another, the mortifying journey of self-healing pushes their individual friendships to the limit.
