The Smoke Between Us

"Why do you smoke that much?"
"I just think it's impressive how this little roll of shit can kill me."

Helena has lost her beloved little brother to cancer. She practically had everything before; amazing grades, loyal friends and popularity.
But her rich, judging, rather famous parents tried to control her life. They still do.

Now, her interest is death.
It fascinates her.

"It's not suicide. It's the beauty of accelerating the dying-process." - The quote she's founded herself, which she uses every time she lights a cigarette. About 10 times a day. Okay, yesterday it was 15...

Ezra is the ultimate good-guy. He's studying psychology at his aunt's, who coincidentally is Helena's psychologist.
Ezra is mesmerized by Helena. He wants to help her. But how do you help a girl who's locked herself away and thrown the key deep down the Mariana Trench? All the while she smokes constantly?

"The day I stop smoking, my little brother will return from the dead."
