The island of Costa Clima is one where the days merge together in a blur of cheap memories and toothy smiles. It had been like this for as long as Kellin could remember. Growing up on the island was a childhood of genuine fun and naive bliss. This changes as a new rotation of tourists come to Costa Clima, along with them coming Vic. A troubled man without much more to his name than a degree in music, he comes to the island not looking for much. A destined meeting, as the two collide, they try to show the other what life could mean. However, when Vic's past creeps up on him, Costa Clima proves to be a malicious setting to a desperate unraveling of secrets. A tale of losing innocence and for those coming of age, "While I Breathe" is for those who do not fear both joy and sorrow, or just for someone looking to kill time.
After being taken away from his severely neglectful parents, Kellin Quinn is put into foster care with little knowledge or experience of the world outside his abusive home.
He's taken in by the Fuentes family where he meets Vic, a boy who used to be so full of life but now holds only sadness and secrets.
