At just twenty-five years old, Nathan Luke has lived a full life-too full, too fast. A former JV baseball pitcher turned dedicated NYPD Grand Larceny Detective, Nathan is accustomed to solving puzzles and chasing down criminals. But he is currently losing the only fight that matters: a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis that has given him a terminal timeline.
Two years post-divorce, Nathan's world revolves around his five-year-old son, Milo. Nathan is desperate to reconnect with him, wanting to make the most of the limited time he has left, yet he is battling the agonizing gap that time and separation have created.
Compounding his pain is his ex-wife, twenty-four-year-old Ella Luke, who has moved on with twenty-three-year-old Victor Roy. Nathan is forced to navigate his relationship with Ella and accept Victor's presence in Milo's life while simultaneously trying to build lasting memories with his son before it is too late.
