Mallory Rue Lee has five months left to live.

After a lifetime of being overlooked - by her parents, by the world, even in the shadow of her twin brother Felix, a global superstar - she's made peace with the end. She's brilliant, cold, guarded... and ready to disappear without a trace.

But then she meets Hyunjin - her brother's bandmate, the boy who should've hated her, but instead sees through her carefully built walls. What begins as a volatile connection slowly becomes something deeper, something Mallory never planned for: hope.

And just as life starts giving her the things she always wanted - love, friendship, the chance to be seen - the clock keeps ticking.
