And from that moment, Flints done everything he can to make dying seem like a good thing. Cutting off all his friends, refusing to eat his favorite foods or listen to the best bands, reading only the most depressing literature by long-dead writers. He plans to spend his final days quietly back in his hometown with just his parents, waiting to die. He did not expect to meet September Harrington, an utter explosion of brilliance and fun. September has dedicated herself to curing the half-life, landing a coveted internship at the world-renowned Half-Life Institute in town.

When their worlds collide, its like its meant to be. Only Flint cant bring himself to tell September hes dying, and Septembers keeping secrets of her own. The closer they get, the less time they have together and the more their secrets threaten to destroy everything. Can September and Flint save each other, or are their days numbered from the start?
