A story about a teenage boy who suffered from cancer for years, only to find 5 years later that it's reappeared. He's giving up on life, wondering the true meaning behind living and considering giving up the treatment. That is until he meets Alexia. Who might I add does not get on with him at all. However, she shares his pain and worries, but chooses not to think about it nor talk about it. Quite the opposite of him really. She always sees the 'perks of cancer' and forces others around her to also.
