About the book

In a world where a company called Death-Cast phones people on the day they will die, two teenage boys, Mateo and Rufus, each get that call and learn they have under twenty-four hours left. Mateo is shy and cautious, while Rufus is angry and facing trouble with the police. Both turn to an app made for lonely people in their situation, hoping to find company for their last day. Through it they meet as strangers and agree to spend the hours together, moving across the city as they try to cram a whole life into a single day.
