Synopsis

West is stuck.

His friend Dara died in a car crash, and he doesn’t want to face his grief – or the feelings he had for her when she was alive.

So instead he breaks out his typewriter and starts chronicling the experiences of the students at his school.

This is one day in the lives of the Day Children and the Night Children as they navigate death and love.
