Lacey Chu has big dreams of working for MONCHA - the tech firm behind the baku phenomenon - but first she needs to get into the exclusive Profectus Academy and there's no way she can afford to do that. Then lacey meets Jinx. Jinx opens up a world that Lacey never knew existed, including entry to the hallowed halls of Profectus. But what is he really? His abilities far surpass those of any other baku. He seems to be so much more than just a robotic pet. He seems...real.
