In an attempt to leave the worst two years of her life behind, Abby moves in with a family friend to start a new life. But moving and starting a new school aren't as easy as she'd hoped they would be, and friends are few and far between. When she gets seated next to the handsome loner Sam Durand in four different classes, Abby decides to befriend him and find out why he won't associate with anyone in school.
But Sam has his own secrets, and after an ill-fated bath on Halloween night, the secrets suddenly become Abby's as well. Sam's life is eternal, and now, she has the chance to extend her lifeline as well.
But how can Abby consider living forever when every moment is a struggle against the memories of her past? When romance blossoms between Sam and Abby, she knows she can't make the life-changing decision until she tells Sam the truth of what happened to her. Abby only has a year to decide, but she can keep pushing it off forever, right? Right?
