Chapter One: An Empty Seat

"But what is your happiness? What is the one thing in the world that you can do that no one else can do for you?"

On the day of his brother's death, 28-year-old English musician Lee Highbary takes an empty seat in a crowded pub only to inherit the mess that is 20-year-old American Nin Adler. Nin is fixated on suicide while Lee would do just about anything to avoid having to go home to Manchester for his brother's funeral. Through their own separate perceptions on death--they form what could be an unbreakable bond. But will it be enough to save either or both of them?
