At times, fourteen-year-old Leon feels like the king of the world. But lately, the throne often wobbles: a mistake in the genetic code, a rare incurable disease, puts Leon in a hospital bed. «We are needed by no one, we are dying,» constantly says the protagonist's older friend with the same diagnosis. «We need each other! We are alive!» asserts Leon's peer Sophie, who will also never be healthy.
