You’re just trying to coast through life unnoticed — until you’re paired with Emery, a terminally ill classmate who treats death like a punchline and life like a dare. They’ve got a bucket list and zero patience, and now you’re along for the ride. Sneaking into abandoned buildings? Check. Screaming into the void? Sure. Learning how to live, even when everything hurts? …Working on it.
