For Sean, art isn't just a passion-it's a lifeline. Despite having a terminal illness, he clings to his artistry as a reason to keep fighting. Now a senior high school student, he finds a mysterious sketchbook in the restroom and decides to flip the pages in hopes of tracking down its owner... only to see a series of eerie paintings. The sketchbook's owner? None other than Clary, Sean's longtime rival in art competitions and fellow member of the university art club. As Sean delves deeper into Clary's world, he discovers a troubled girl who creates art as a desperate attempt to escape from the chaos of her mind. As Sean and Clary's lives become increasingly intertwined, will they realize that art is enough to make life worth living, or will they find something more meaningful in falling in love with being alive?
