Together, they discover the realities of modern treatments under the cloud of Liam’s possible death, his loss of sexual function, and his daily challenges as a chemo patient. While Aimz fights to hold onto her career dreams, Liam makes the decision to distract himself from the fear of death by reinventing himself as a children’s author. Fighting with and against each other, they must rediscover love, learn to embrace change, and cherish each moment of life as they follow its unpredictable winds, like the journey of leaves. .
