Sole Eaby has a few complaints he'd like to lodge against life, the main one being that his dad, Cedro, has recently quit his job and withdrawn his entire life savings, which included Sole's college fund. Why? To launch a food truck business he knows nothing about.To cope, Sole uses his knifelike wit to moonlight as a stand-up comedian, and so far, it's paying off. He's not only replenishing his college treasury, he's making people laugh; but it's one person in particular he performs for. Her name is Ava. When the fated bond of humor joins the two, and they begin a sort of quasi-romance, things begin to seem somewhat bearable. Of course, that's when an ill-timed event decides to put another spin on things. Just when Sole is ready to move on with his own life and disconnect himself from his father and the family business, he suddenly finds himself in charge of the food truck he desperately loathes. Here is where Sole must realize that the answers to love and life are not to be found apart but, rather, are more like a savory recipe: only by combining the ingredients will the wonderful flavors reveal themselves.

When Emma and Jack first meet, under somewhat dubious circumstances, they both know that there is an undeniable spark there. What they are not counting on, however, is how Jack's biggest secret will impact not only their mutual lives but their budding relationship as they struggle with life, love and death, and what happens when all three collide. When two people fall in love, that is almost always the end of the story; in this case, love is only the beginning. They must learn to cope with the heaviness of not only being young and discovering themselves, but also how to pack a lifetime of memories into a few months of seemingly endless, but in fact a very limited number of, days. The time you spend with someone is not necessarily what is important. It's what you take with you after they're gone that matters most in the end.
