Noah hasn't been the same since the diagnosis. His world, once filled with hope and endless possibilities, has been clouded by the rare neurological disorder that has already taken so much from his family. His older brother, Eli, has been through the worst of it-fighting the pain, the seizures, the uncertainty-and Noah has watched it all, helpless. But he's not Eli. His journey with the disease is just beginning, and he's determined not to let it define him the way it's tried to define his brother.
When Noah meets Mia, a girl who knows what it's like to fight for a life that's slipping away, they form a connection neither of them expected. She's a nurse who's seen firsthand the horrors of this disorder, yet there's something about her strength, her passion for life, that makes Noah believe that maybe there's still hope for him.
But as the disorder progresses, Noah finds himself at a crossroads. His body is starting to betray him, and the episodes are becoming harder to hide. Mia, who has already faced loss and pain in her life, doesn't want Noah to shoulder this burden alone, but he's not ready to let her in. The fear of losing her, of watching her suffer through the same pain his family has endured, keeps him at arm's length.
Noah must make a choice: continue to push people away and fight this battle in isolation, or take the leap and let Mia in, risking the possibility of more heartache-but maybe, just maybe, finding the kind of love that makes it all worth it.
Can Noah learn to live with the uncertainty of his future, or will he close himself off and let the disease take away more than just his health? And in the process, can Mia and Noah find a way to navigate their own fragile connection, even when the odds seem stacked against them?
The clock is ticking. Time is running out, and the choice he makes will change everything.
