Live or Leave Quezon City

Big Four universities will always feel like the dream - the kind of place where you believe your future becomes clearer, brighter, closer. But what happens if you never got the chance to fulfill that dream?

Zamira Alvarez is a freshman BS Psychology student from Far Eastern University Diliman. She understands people's minds better than her own heart. While others are busy surviving their first year, Mira quietly carries a different dream: she wants to transfer to University of Santo Tomas.

For her, UST is not just another university - it's a promise of something bigger. A place where she believes she can fully express her writing, let her stories breathe, and finally feel enough.

Mathias "Nick" Nicholas Nolasco is a second-year varsity player in UST. On the court, he's confident and impossible to ignore. But off it, he's just a boy trying to escape the shadow of his name.

She's chasing the school he wants to escape.
He's running from the place she calls a dream.

If she believes that place will bring back her spark in writing...
what happens when the inspiration she's been looking for comes from him instead?

And if there is a chance to escape
why does it feel like the only way out... is with each other?
