Welcome to River View Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre, or as its occupants like to call it, the IV League.
The IV League isn't an elite class of private hospitals. It's a name that the patients adopted for themselves to make them feel better about their conditions. About their fate. Most inpatients spend their days wondering which will be their last. But not these five teens.
Five teenagers being treated at the same hospital become the unlikeliest of friends and develop the strongest bonds. Each of them suffers from a different issue, but all of them are united by one common factor: facing the questions of life and death. They fall in love, break hearts, fight, experience life for the first time, suffer, and survive. For most people, a hospital is a place where life ends, but for them, it's where life begins.
Five patients. One hospital. And this is their story.

I untangle myself from Dante and get off the bed, turning to look at them all. "I need to go back to my hotel room to change." The response is instantaneous. All men frown and begin to protest. "You're staying here, sweetheart-" "Don't do this, love-" "Babygirl, stay with us-" I'm sure they don't all love me that much. It's probably a short-term love, temporary. I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious.
