River Dawson will do anything for his girl. His intentions may be good, but sometimes plans don't work out the way you want them to. River lives life on the edge, with a reckless attitude and a carefree way of thinking, but it's his way of thinking that cost him the one thing that is most valued in this life—time.

She's an addict who's addicted to more than her drug of choice.

He's the bad kid, who only wants to make her happy.

What will happen when her sickness becomes too heavy and he can no longer help carry the weight?

She tries to be better for him, but sometimes the whispers are too strong, even for a love as deep as theirs.
