Jakob Reiderman has vowed to kill himself. After discovering he has a rare form of dementia that is progressively killing off his memory cells, Jakob is convinced ending his life is the best solution-that is, until he meets Ellie, a quirky yet deeply young girl who makes him question everything.
Their first awkward encounter on the subway only fuels their curiousity about each other and leads to them spending more time together. Eventually Jakob and Ellie develop a seemingly unbreakable bond. But, their relationship isn't without trial. They both share a similiar dark past and are constantly fighting off their demons. Whether it's a diagnosed disease or a constant fear of the unknown, they both have their share to endure. However, despite all their tribulation and frequent denial, the two need each other. This necessary dependence is something Jakob and Ellie must learn to accept before it's too late.
