The world was supposed to end on April 23, but Rainbow Williams' world collapsed much earlier. The mass hysteria caused by the approaching apocalypse has taken away everything she has ever loved: her family, her hometown, and her will to live. Until she met him.

Wes Parker had nothing left that could be taken away from him. By the age of nine, he had already lost everything: his family, his home, his hope of ever being loved. Until he met her.

Brought by fate and bound by love for the short time remaining of their lives, Rain and Wes prepared to die together on April 23. But they had no idea what would happen the next day.
