There is a poison in Lola Bower's lungs. It's a terrifying illness that numbs her to the core; shuts off the part of her brain that allows her to feel anything at all. She likes it that way, though. It keeps her safe from feeling the cruelty of her classmates' wrath and of her father's fist. It's better to feel nothing than to feel everything all at once.

Her dealer, Eddie Munson, disagrees. And he's certain he can craft the perfect antidote for the ache in her bones. He's made it his mission to teach Lola that there is more than only cynicism in the world, that being alive does not mean to be the carcass but the spark.

But the more time they spend together, the more complicated things get. He falls for her too quickly, but once he's started he can't seem to stop. Despite there being nothing but heartbreak below him, Eddie Munson is in a complete free fall.

And yet, every time he looks at her, he's reminded hell is just another place he'll go to keep her warm.
