The locals call it the Death House, but Carol and Marco designed the New Life House as a home for kids toΒ live, safely removed from the stigmas and judgments of the outside world.
Seventeen-year-old Tyler arrives on the doorstep, hoping that he's finally found a safe place to die. His arrival causes the other kids to question the futures they've been promised, and Carol and Marco must convince them there is life after diagnosis.
