It’s about a teenage boy named Shawn McDaniel. He has cerebral palsy; a condition where you can’t move a muscle in your body and can’t communicate with anyone other than yourself. Shawn can only say things through his thoughts in a first person view. Shawn thinks of himself as dead-like, yet intelligent. Shawn’s dad can’t see him suffering, so he is planning to kill him, but Shawn wishes that he could talk so that he can tell his father that he doesn’t want to die. Hopefully, Shawn's father doesn’t kill him. Sad and worried, Shawn is between a life and death experience.
