A guy with only a little to hope has Xeroderma pigmentosum(Inability to withstand ultraviolet radiations).Unexposed to sun for 12 long years - he is awaiting death but life has something else in store for him . counting each day as it passes by - his only desire is to die but one morning he wakes up and the only thing that he wants to do is to live - not merely survive but live . The cost is high - the stakes are higher. Maybe love offers him a chance- just a fake one .Will he hold on to it or will the thread be out of reach?
