A darkly comedic high school mystery-thriller that blends supernatural premonition, social commentary on bullying and prejudice, and serial killer suspense with a found-family core.

After an act of bullying sends Javier to the hospital, he begins experiencing visions that foresee glimpses of shocking murders at his school right before they happen. Now, in between navigating the social hierarchies and prejudices of clique culture, Javier and his best friend Bianca must try to unmask a serial killer before he strikes again.
