Twenty-five-year-old Owen McIntyre is no stranger to the Grim Reaper. Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of fifteen, he's spent the last ten years slowly dying. With two weeks left before his next checkup, his body is already telling him he's no longer in remission. Tired of of fighting he makes the difficult decision to forgo treatment, to and live and die on his own terms. When he meets hunky, college professor Turk, conquering the man tops Owen's bucket list. But when he starts to develop feelings for Turk, Owen has to remind himself a relationship isn't a luxury a dying man has.
But what if suddenly everything Owen knew to be true was a web of lies and deceit—even his diagnosis of cancer? Taken hostage, tied to a bed and forced to endure painful experiments, Owen's illness is a far cry from the horrors he's facing. No longer able to trust anyone, including Turk, Owen is alone and cut off from the world. To survive, he has to trust those who betrayed him, trust Turk who isn't who he seems to be. With time running out, Owen will not only fight to live, he'll fight to want to live. Can he survive being the vessel?
