School is back in session for another year at the Grimoire Academy of Applied Knowledge, and the first thing on the agenda is a tour for the benefit of all newcomers. As a new teacher, Abby Cable acquaints herself with Grimoire Island, unsure if she’s made the right decision to uproot her life in Louisiana after Swamp Thing’s disappearance more than a year ago. Meanwhile, young Timothy Hunter makes a friend in a boy named Rick Billings on his first day at the academy, but will they be split up into different dormitories?
