What would you be willing to give to save the love
of your life?
That's the question seventeen-year-old Avery must ask herself
the night her boyfriend is attacked and a strange figure appears
asking her what she'd do to save his life. As he lies dying, Avery
makes a deal: trade two years of her life to save him. She says
yes.
When she wakes up the next morning, Avery is met with friends,
family and a boyfriend that have moved on without her. Two years
have passed. Her friends are at university; her parents have grieved
and moved on, and so has Bram - the boy she loves. It seems
they have put the night of the attack behind them and are shocked
when Avery - who was presumed missed - makes a return after two
years.
But for Avery it's a different story. Their past is her present.
And now she's seventeen in her head, trapped in a nineteen-year-old's
life, trying to find the answers for what happened that night,
and who the strange entity she made a deal with was.
And when the entity returns, it offers new terms: grant someone
else their deepest wish, or Bram dies again. The first time, she
didn't have to think. This time, she has to decide what his life
is really worth.
