People are born with the exact date they will die on their wrist. The exact moment their breath will leave their lungs and their heart will stop beating is dated into their skin. Not everyone is born with a death date though; these few are called dead men walking. They have no rights, and are treated as less than human. Paris, like so many others, has been raised to fear the undated. Sterling is an undated. This is the story of how their worlds collide. ==Updated every Tuesday==

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
