There's more than meets the eye in 17-year-old Loris. At first glance, he seems like nothing but a youth who is always causing mischief and mayhem. Everything changes when he meets his new English Literature teacher, Ellie-a 29-year-old idealist who seems to relate more to her students than the other teaching staff. An unlikely friendship is formed between the two when a catastrophic event occurs during school hours called 'The Reckoning, ' in Hong Kong. As chaos ensues and with society in ruins, where do societal norms, ethics, and social status stand? Can a teacher and a student put aside their assigned roles to work together in a post-apocalyptic society? How far will they go when the only person they can depend on is each other?
