Riley Lawrence is a survivor. His friend Nora (and the love of his short life) is a fighter. Together they are the definition of awesome and have the ability to save the world, just not themselves.

Well it's a combination of being diagnosed with cancer and also meeting, befriending and falling in love with the charming, fearless and utterly charismatic Nora. Together they embark on a journey of learning how to live rather than just survive and maybe even how to love.
Join them in their adventure and help them answer the question, when love isn't about forever, what is it about?
