You're Jackston, a university student, four months out from defending your thesis.

A package turns up at your old teacher's office, from a friend you haven't spoken to in six years.

You spent your whole childhood being measured against him, and you're afraid of who you turn into when he's in the room.

Are you ready to confront your past?
