Think back to that first whirlwind of university life. For Kayleigh Morris, the protagonist of The Dropouts, that experience at St. Kellum’s University is anything but smooth sailing. Social anxiety? Check. Parties that feel more daunting than fun? Check. A flatmate named Greta who... well, let's just say she has a habit of “borrowing” Kayleigh’s food? Double check!

We've all felt overwhelmed at some point, and Kayleigh is just trying to navigate the exhilarating yet terrifying tide of Freshers’ Week.

But things take a surreal turn with the arrival of Professor Lady Marian, who introduces a mysterious new module involving a psychedelic drug designed to alleviate anxiety.
