    Summary

    Tim Drake and Connor Luthor, close friends since their final year at Bristol Academy, begin their first semester at Gotham University. Tim is disciplined, his analytical mind hiding a life of vigilantism. Connor is a powerful but uncertain young man, unknowingly caught between two legacies. Meanwhile, Gotham is reaching a breaking point. Mysterious attacks scattered throughout the city terrify residents, the Joker is missing, and in this vacuum Sofia Falcone seems to be on the rise. Lex Luthor is inserting himself into Gotham's affairs, promising future conflict with Bruce Wayne. In the middle sit Tim and Connor. Will their friendship grow into something deeper, built on shared burdens and a mutual understanding neither can find elsewhere? Or will their inheritances and Gotham's crimes tear them further apart?
