SPELLBOUND

In the labyrinthine halls of Liberty High, where cliques are kingdoms and secrets whisper through locker doors, two boys from different worlds are destined to meet. Dao Zhang, the quintessential bad boy, rules the school with a rebellious charm that leaves teachers exasperated and students in awe. With his regular ebony attire, smoldering eyes, and a reputation for skipping class and breaking hearts, Dao is a force of nature-untamed, fearless, and forever skating on the edge of trouble.
Enter Eros Ariti, a soft-spoken and diligent student whose world revolves around books, art, and the sanctuary of the library. With his unassuming presence, quiet intelligence, and a heart full of dreams, Eros is the antithesis of Dao. He's the boy who blends into the background, his kindness and gentle spirit often overlooked in the chaos of high school life.
Their worlds collide one fateful afternoon in detention, a punishment Dao wears like a badge of honor and Eros views with dread. Forced to spend hours together in silence, Dao's initial indifference slowly gives way to curiosity as he observes Eros' quiet determination and unexpected wit. Meanwhile, Eros finds himself inexplicably drawn to Dao's raw energy and hidden depths, sensing a vulnerability beneath the tough exterior.
As they are thrown together by chance and circumstance, an unlikely friendship begins to blossom. Dao, intrigued by Eros' quiet strength, starts to lower his defenses, revealing glimpses of the boy he hides from the world. Eros, inspired by Dao's boldness, begins to find his own voice, challenging himself to step out of his comfort zone.
While their connection grows, Dao teaches Eros to embrace the wild side of life, while Eros shows Dao the beauty of trust and vulnerability. Together, they navigate the trials of adolescence, their love a beacon of hope and defiance against the backdrop of expectations and stereotypes.
