    Summary

    Turns out, college is not that different from high school. Especially when you fall asleep in your freshman dorm and wake up on your first day of senior year with all the knowledge of what’s to come. Except it never does. Nobody falls, nobody dies.

    Peter Spankoffski finds himself reliving those fateful few months and quickly realizes that many others are too. His friends are alive, and so is their bully, and there’s still a chance to beat Clivesdale at the Homecoming game with this new second chance.

    This time around, however, it’s not the murderous ghost of Max Jägerman they need to worry about—teenage boys are going missing, monsters haunt their peripherals, and nobody knows who made the deal to send them back in time. As quickly as they regain normalcy, their new world begins to unspool.

    The nerds find themselves in a race against something beyond time and space to figure out how Grace Chastity is involved and how to stop this invisible unspooling before their second chance is lost forever.
