On September 5, in a New York where a service called Death-Cast phones people the morning they are going to die, two teenagers get the call within hours of each other. Mateo Torrez is shy and afraid of leaving his apartment. Rufus Emeterio is grieving and on the run from a fight. They meet through Last Friend, an app built so Deckers do not have to die alone, and spend their final day moving across the city, taking the risks they avoided, and falling for each other knowing there is no tomorrow. Silvera builds a full love story inside twenty-four hours.
