You realize one day you don't belong to yourself.
How does it feel?
Thomas MacMillan, your average straight-A good boy, is serving a sentence for being his parents' perfect son.
That is, until a bizarre supernatural college scoops him up. And then?
Man-eating monsters. Cosmic glitches. Shady institutional secrets. Hideous heart issues. One time-travelling psycho.
The term has just started, boy.
...
Puppeteered by his controlling parents, all Thomas MacMillan thought he wanted to do was get into an elite university. But when a strange email shows up one morning, he never thought that would punch a hole through his reality. Or that all the colleges would cut him off at once.
They call it MacMillan College. And Tom belongs to them.
As a freshman in MacMillan College, Tom thinks he's found freedom. Life. But he soon realizes that this place is married to chaos.
Hey. Wait. His roommate's heart is peeling off.
Hey. Wait. One of their classmates is a man-eating monster.
Hey. Wait. His childhood bestie Mary Herrmann is back and now he's fighting an unwanted attraction.
But torn between volatile abilities and shady professors, dirty secrets and life-threatening scenarios, those feelings might just be the only thing still holding him together.
Welcome to MacMillan College, home to the surreal and the supernatural. Hope you all have a delightful semester.
