Departing Seniors follows Javier. Javier is a Mexican-American and queer high school student, who finds himself on the outside of the popular crowd. However, when Javier becomes the victim of bullying and ends up in the hospital, he is plagued by disturbing visions.

So, these visions show him glimpses of terrifying murders that are about to occur at his school. As he navigates the complexities of social hierarchies and prejudices within clique culture, Javier, alongside his best friend Bianca, must embark on a mission to uncover the identity of a serial killer and prevent further bloodshed.
