Since his sister died, Ryan just wants to "get lost." He trades in schoolwork and sports for listening to music and getting stoned. Visiting a popular girl from school who's in a coma helps Ryan wake up to his own life, one he realizes is worth living. Koertge tells the affecting story with his trademark teenage-friendly humor and insight.
