When Neil Perry's desperate attempt to escape the life chosen for him doesn't succeed, he wakes up in a hospital caught between life and shadow - alive, but changed. The trauma leaves him with fractured memories, wiping away one of the most important parts of his world: Todd Anderson... and the secret, fragile love they had only just begun to share.
Todd, devastated but determined, refuses to let Neil fade into a life rewritten by fear, pressure, and silence. As Neil returns to Welton an empty echo of the boy he once was, Todd battles grief, guilt, and the ache of loving someone who no longer remembers him.
But memory isn't the only thing that makes a heart recognise its match.
As the Dead Poets rally around them, Todd becomes Neil's anchor - quietly guiding him through poetry, friendship, and the freedom he once fought for. Slowly, Neil begins to feel something he can't explain... a pull toward the boy his heart never truly forgot.
This is a story of recovery, rediscovery, and love that survives even when memory doesn't.
A story where Todd must decide how much of his soul he's willing to give up to help Neil find himself again -
and where Neil must choose whether the life he wakes up to is the one he still wants.
