In the shadowed halls of Avalon University, a string of student suicides hides a darker truth: a charismatic predator named Julian Croft uses emotional predation to drive his victims to self-destruction.

What follows is a duel of manipulation where heroism is not about saving the world, but about refusing to stain your own soul after seeing its deepest rot.
