Star is terminal, she knows that one day she's going to die, and has written a list of things to do before her untimely demise. Since she was first diagnosed shes done all but five things on that list. The last being fall in love. The second to take photos of everything and everyone she sees in her last 6 months. The third is to write a eulogy that shall be given by Adam her best non cancer friend at her funeral. The forth is to go coffin shopping her idea being that she should spend all eternity in a coffin and clothes she chose. Finally she wants to conform to every possible stereotype imaginable and go to disney land. Adam isn't terminal but watching his best friend slowly die isn't easy. So he copied her idea and wrote a list of things to do for star before she dies these acts of kindness range from teaching her to ride a bike when she was 13. Sneaking her out of the hospital during freshman year to go to homecoming and getting her long term crush Chase Holmes to ask her out to a movie when she was depressed that she was the only sophomore girl who hasn't been on a date. His final project involves a camera some grass and a lot of butterflies.
