"One of us is going to break first. And it won't be me."

Jay Park is your fiercest rival in the university’s elite fashion program. Arrogant, razor-sharp, and infuriatingly talented, he’s spent the last three years competing with you for the top spot in every class, critique, and showcase.

Now, the department head has forced you two into an absolute nightmare scenario: co-directing the Annual Flagship Showcase together.

Jay thinks your design vision is a disaster. You think his ego needs to be brought down a notch. But as late nights in the empty studio turn into heated arguments, the tension between you starts feeling less like hatred... and a lot more like something dangerous.
