Paul Christian, a standout All-American high school basketball player, has one dream: to play NCAA Division I basketball. But that dream is derailed his senior year when he's diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a cancer with a 50 percent chance of survival.

Crushed, Paul's enthusiasm for life and basketball turns to anger and hatred-until he befriends Jericho Walls, a funny and positive

thirteen-year-old who is also suffering from terminal cancer. Unlike Paul, Jericho hasn't let the cancer stop him from living life

to the fullest while helping rescued animals at the local Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. What Paul learns from young Jericho will change his life forever.
