Being a teenager is tough, and for sixteen-year-old Mike, it’s particularly challenging. He resides in the remote town of Faintville, a Canadian community centered around the timber industry, with his mother, who constantly nags him. Mike lacks a father, friends, and even a favorite dish, and his only desire is to disappear from existence. In a moment of despair, he pens his own obituary and attempts to end his life. To his dismay, he regains consciousness in the local hospital. During a standard check-up, doctors find a tumor the size of a plum in his brain. Astonished by what he considers a stroke of luck, Mike decides to keep his condition a secret to avoid the life-saving surgery. Confronting his mortality, however, shifts Mike’s perspective, leading him to reassess his feelings for the captivating yet eccentric Miranda. It turns out someone might truly understand him after all.
