In Luke Hemmings' search for meaning in his life, he wasn't expecting to get it from the school's 'infamous freak', Shelby Lawler. With Shelby's help, he will learn about life through a demented cat, late night drive thrus, a graveyard tour and a whole lot more. And just as Luke is starting to actually 'live', life will teach him 'love' in the most inconvenient way: through death.
