Jamal’s best friend Q does not know he’s about to die . . . again.

He also doesn’t know that Jamal tried to save his life, rescuing him from drowning only to watch Q die in the hospital. Even more complicated, Jamal and Q haven’t been best friends in two years—not since Jamal’s parents died in a car accident for which Jamal blames Q. But a new healthcare technology allows Q to be reanimated—brought back to life like the old Q. Here’s the catch: Q will only reanimate for a short time before he dies . . . forever, this time.

Jamal is determined to make things right with Q, but grief is hard to shake. And Q’s mother won’t let anyone tell Q he died and ruin the miracle, so Q doesn’t understand why Jamal is suddenly trying to be his friend. With the clock ticking, how can Jamal fix his friendship with Q if he can’t tell him the truth?

Justin A. Reynolds weaves together loss, grief, friendship, and love to form a wholly unique homage to the bonds that bring people together for life—and beyond.
