Guilt is a heavy thing.  Sebastian doesn’t know if he can live with it anymore.  At age four Sebastian picked up his father’s gun and accidentally shot and killed his baby sister.  Sebastian and his family never fully recovered.  Now as a teen Sebastian is planning out his last days. But, his plans are put on pause when new neighbors move in, including fellow teen Aneesa.  Aneesa and Sebastian soon become besties, spending much of the summer launching a YouTube pizza making channel.  But, Aneesa doesn’t know Sebastian dark secret and he’s afraid what will happen when she figures it out.
