Historien om en pige, der lærer at leve, af en dreng, der ønsker at dø. Finch er fascineret af døden. Men han leder også efter ting, der er værd at holde sig i live for. Violet lever i fremtiden. Hun tæller dagene, til hun er færdig med skolen, så hun kan undslippe den lille barndomsby og sorgen efter sin søsters død. Violet og Finch mødes tilfældigt i toppen af skolens klokketårn – med udsigt til seks etagers frit fald. Og da de begge er kommet helskindet ned, er det svært at sige, hvem der egentlig har reddet hvem. Det umage par begiver sig af sted på et rodet road trip. De lader vejene diktere deres oplevelser og opsøger: det storslåede, det ligegyldige, det smukke, det overraskende. Snart føler Finch sig kun som sig selv, når han er tæt på Violet – modig, morsom, udadvendt. Ikke den freak, han ellers er kendt som. Og sammen med Finch holder Violet langsomt op med at tælle dagene – og begynder i stedet at leve dem. Men i takt med at Violets verdens vokser, bliver Finchs mindre og mindre.
