Hadley Jamison doesn't know what to think when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, committed suicide. She didn't exactly know him, but that doesn't stop her from feeling like there was something she could have done to help him.

She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.
