   Summary

   Hawkins university is full of unseen campus heroes, but Mike wants to change that. He wants to make them seen. He wants to see them.

   And he wants someone to see him.

   He both writes and photographs for the school newspaper.

   A certain unseen campus hero keeps catching Mike’s eye, and soon Mike is needing to see him. Beyond the newspaper, beyond Latte Lane, beyond polite smiles and camera.
