"I know i only met you once, and i know you never called. But everyone else has given up on you and as your nurse, i wont let you give up Knox Krescend. Not on my watch."

Deciding to spend her gap year volunteering at a local hospital, Ariella figures she could use all the practice she gets before moving off to college to become a nurse.
However, as Ariella is given a lighter workload and transferred to full time care of long term comatose patients, she learns her life isn't the only thing that has changed in the past two years.

Knox is a boy who never got the chance to grow up.
After two years of being in a Coma, everyone has given up. Even he has.

Ariella must find the strength to fight for both of their lves, balancing her volunteering program, learning patient care, and the lines between patients and their doctors.

All she can do is hope that Knox has enough faith in the girl he left behind at a party once to ignite the fight he needs to get his life back.
