A playful campus caper that keeps you grinning while quietly tightening the screws of unease.

Wesley Armstrong
Genres
Comedy, Thriller, Science fiction
Overview
A charming but messy HBCU sophomore on the verge of expulsion resorts to desperate measures to save his spot — including befriending (and perhaps even abetting) a strange and socially awkward transfer student who is really a supernatural creature set on destroying the institution from the inside out.
How it feels
