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.

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Terminé

The Doctor's Assistant
Have you ever felt so unimaginably lonely? Ever wanted to end your life because things have gotten so unbelievably horrible? Parents misunderstanding you? Pressure too much amongst your daily stresses? Do not fret, just walk to the back alley behind Maple View Memorial Hospital. Walk down the creaking metal steps, knock a few times on the wooden door and the doctor will handle the rest. These were some of the things Elliot heard being whispered at the weekly depression seminars. They were dying for a way out, a way out of life. A way that didn't involve hanging in the kitchen before the movers showed up. With mom and dad dead from a car crash a few weeks prior, and zero friends to acknowledge their absence, Elliot decides to visit the doctor. But is it more than what they bargained for?Terminé
