On the surface, Clayton Hubbard looks like a regular college kid with regular college problems but he has a secret: he’s a self-taught warlock. Having had a challenging academic year and with finals looming over him, he has little choice but to use his powers to help himself if he doesn’t want to repeat a year.

There’s just one problem: he’s in over his head. When attempting to summon a familiar, he makes a costly mistake that sends his and his boyfriend’s life careening straight off a cliff.
