For Emma Lane, life is measured in ten-milligram increments.
At seventeen, Emma is a veteran of the East Wing oncology ward. Her world is a landscape of sterile white walls, "heart-healthy" jello, and the rhythmic, suffocating hum of a ventilator. She's accepted her fate as a permanent resident of the "Beige"-until Liam Hale swaggered into her room.
Liam Hale isn't just a patient. He's the Mayor.
Charismatic, defiant, and refusing to follow the "Board's" rules, Liam has a plan that doesn't involve clinical trials or palliative care. He has a silver RV, a stoic driver named Marcus, and a crumpled piece of paper called The Rebellion Record.
The mission: Ten targets. Seven days. One lifetime.
From the neon glow of a starlight cinema to the salt-crushed cliffs of the Pacific, Emma and Liam trade their hospital gowns for emerald silk and wedding vows. They are outlaws on a mission to steal back the time the universe tried to take from them.
But every mile on the odometer comes with a "Tax," and the hospital is a silent creditor that always collects.
As the road runs out and the Pacific horizon beckons, Emma and Liam must decide: Is a single week of brilliant, technicolor rebellion worth the price of the quiet?
A heart-wrenching, cinematic journey about the courage it takes to live when you're told you're dying. Perfect for fans of The Fault in Our Stars and Five Feet Apart.
