A tender teenage romance between a sheltered girl with a life-threatening condition and a boy who helps her experience the world, balancing sweetness with the shadow of her mortality.

Katie, a 17-year-old, has been sheltered since childhood and confined to her house during the day by a rare disease that makes even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly. Fate intervenes when she meets Charlie and they embark on a summer romance.
