[WARNING: Graphic Sexual Scenes] Welcome to Andrew James Johanessy's life and mind. Seventeen years old and he feels as if he has already hit a dead end.

As soon as Accel steps on the scene AJ is drawn to him; his 'average' life discarded like garbage as he is dragged further into layers of secrets, lies, desire and mistrust. Amongst which is Accel's alarming attempts at seduction. The only problem is, when AJ finally discovers how far into Accel's web he has tangled himself, he starts to question how exactly he is going to get back when Accel wants him and him only. Has he truly become one of 'them' or is he able to get back to the average life he now craves? And how exactly is he going to keep the cat from further ruining his life when he is to busy trying to escape Accel's enticing grasp on his heart? Only time will tell.... the only problem is, AJ sucks at keeping time.

The brush of an arm, the tap of a hand, any skin to skin contact and Dakota Grinn is plagued with the horror of that person's death. He sees the Number, the date they'll die, and feels the pain they encounter when they do. Skin melting, knife twisting, bones cracking; Dakota feels it. And he's sick of it. Abandoned by his parent's because of his "gift", Dakota hops around foster home to foster home. The beginning of his 8 days start at a new foster home with a kind, understanding foster mom with a too low Number. As the 8 days pass, Dakota meets Andy, an adorable, sweet guy that insists on being his friend. Normally secluding himself from people, Dakota feels drawn to Andy. Is it the fact that his cute face takes his breath away? Is it because his light, gentle voice calms Dakota instantly? Or is it how whenever he feels Andy's Number, Dakota is filled with warmth and love and the feeling of having lived a long, happy life? And the strangest thing; Dakota sees himself right there with him, holding Andy lovingly in his arms. Even with the single source of warmth, Dakota is still left with the fear and pain of others' deaths. But only 8 days. He only needs to last 8 more days. Then Dakota ends it all. Or will Andy be able to save him in time?
