    Summary

    Between midnight and 1 AM on their campus radio station, Tyler Joseph hosts a show called "Midnight Philosophy," where he questions everything about faith, identity, and purpose. Josh Dun hosts "Alternative Hours" right after, responding to Tyler's existential crises with carefully chosen indie rock.

    Meanwhile, Tyler's religious family wants answers he can't give, and the yellow dashes on the street seem to offer dangerous solutions.

    (Or: Two college radio DJs save their station, each other, and themselves. Not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    Isak Valtersen is the world’s best male tennis player. Even Bech Næsheim is not. But he’s ranked #32 in the world, which is impressive enough, and he’s Norway’s favorite. Isak understands why: Even has a friendly face, an iconic headband, and the ability to make every journalist laugh in press, even after a brutal loss. He’s a hometown hero who pours his heart out in every match, and embraces the nickname fans have given him: Bechy with the Good Hair. He doesn’t advance very far in tournaments, if he qualifies, but whenever he does they are always matches to watch. Isak is the world’s best tennis player, but the world is watching Even.

    After a chance training arrangement at the US Open, Isak is watching Even too. He doesn’t want to get distracted on his way to a world-record win, but it seems like his heart isn’t giving him a choice.

    Summary

    A strange vine covered building that looked abandoned but certainly wasn't abandoned was the last thing Josh expected to find in the woods. Especially a strange vine covered building occupied by people with superpowers.

    He certainly didn't expect to find a strange man with an addictive personality and paint covered hands.

    '"I’ve never seen you before,' they spoke, and it clicked that this must be Tyler.
    Tyler, the one who was screaming in the corner about not being Tyler."
