The story narrates the lives of three teenage friends with challenging stories as they try to grow up through thousands of difficulties. The main character (whose name is never revealed) lives by himself with his mother. He has two friends, Ismail (the youngest of five brothers from a Moroccan family, obsessed with girls and a deep hatred for everything that surrounds him) and Rachele (whose father has frequent bipolar crises that nobody can contain, which cause his daughter to both hate and love him). When the protagonist's mother gets cancer, their lives explode; they look for improbable and fatally disastrous solutions, but each of them ends up starting a small fire of their own. The story of three teenagers, "different" but "similar" to many others, unfolds between levity and drama, irony and awareness.

Bella is the girl who lost everything to cancer, and her world suddenly revolves around her sickness. She lost her friends, her mother, her confidence. Her life became a series of doctor visits, stories in her head, and hours of making up for the work she misses in school. She never expects anything out of herself or life because she doesn't want to get her hopes up. Everything changes when she gets partnered up for a physics project with Liam. Liam is the opposite of Bella, always looking at the future and keeping his hopes high. But his bipolar mother keeps him back, always derailing his life. Taking care of his mom without his dad, he always buried everything he felt. But when he gets partnered with his childhood crush for a physics project, Bella, his perspective with his mother and himself changes. They challenge each other, impacting their own mindsets and decisions, feelings for each other kindling. When Bella learns the truth of her mother leaving and when she gets to the lowest point in her life, his faith in her strength leads her to believe there's a world that doesn't revolve around her. Bella forces Liam to discover his identity without his mother's life in his hands, uncovering a vulnerable side of him. And to think that their lives together started with a physics project.
