When the two meet, Alice makes a peculiar request of Charlie: to become her boyfriend so that she may experience a relationship before she dies. Finding himself unable to refuse her despite his indifference toward love, Charlies agrees to fulfill her final wish. Little does he know, however, that with each second spent with Alice, feelings he has locked deep inside him will begin to emerge once more.
