"I slowly try and lift my chin, my entire body shaking with a shooting pain coming from my aching back. My bones feel like hard clay, solid yet ready to break if dropped. Only my will to live will save me now... if I have any." -- A twenty-one year old college student has lived her whole life being a wallflower, but after her friend and roommate, Ashley, is murdered before her very eyes (with her parting words being to live for her) her whole day-to-day life is made walk the plank. The only thing now getting in the way of her coping with her friend's death and practicing her new taken on life perspective, is being suspected to be Ashley's murderer. With her only accountable witness being The Chug's bartender, the chance of being thrown in the slammer for life hangs over her head... severely.

In the United States, a new disease has surfaced and has a fatality rate of 100%. There is no medicine which can cure this disease. The disease destroys the body from the inside, causing organs to burst, poisons bloodstreams, shuts down vital organs, causes the bones to crystallize and in severe cases, welcomes in the other diseases. The only way to fight such a disease is through the power of will. Only the will to survive can best the disease, causing it to slowly go away as the body fights back. As the victim wants to survive and fights the disease, the better chance they have. But, everyone who has caught the disease gives up hope, and dies a slow and brutal death. This disease is known as Stigma X, or STX. Meet Ashley Reynolds, an 18 year-old girl, who is a senior in high school. Ashley comes from a family who grants her nothing but misery, and hates her very existence. When Ashley caught the disease at the end of her freshman year, the rejoicing coming from Ashley's family caused her heart to falter, and soon found herself welcoming death. For her senior year, Ashley moves into her aunts mansion in order for Ashley to live the life every child deserves. There, Ashley encounters new friends and a guy who has changed her outlook on life. However, the disease inside of Ashley is starting to eat away at her, and the attacks from it causing her excruciating pain. Will Ashley give up on life before she gets a chance to live it out properly? Will the anguish and suffering Ashley endured for her entire life be too much for her to want to continue living?
