What if the urban legends you've always heard about were real?

It starts with a class in an old movie theatre. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor.

Most students believe the Professor's stories are just fiction, but Holland St. James has always been convinced that magic is real.

Her search for the truth leads her to a dazzling new world, a deadly secret hidden at the heart of Los Angeles, and into the path of Gabriel Cabral, who says he's been sent to save her life.

But when another magnetic stranger, Adam Bishop, makes the same claim, Holland realizes that at least one of these men is lying to her. And if she can't figure out whom to trust, her magical reality could change from a Hollywood dream to a nightmare.
