Nádej a láska žijú aj v tej najhlbšej temnote Jesse je ako každá pätnásťročná tínedžerka, ktorá miluje rôzne veci. Najviac však svojich priateľov a rodinu, aj keď sa v poslednom období ustavične hádajú. Na rozdiel od ostatných tínedžerov je však Jesse hospitalizovaná na onkologickom oddelení, kde si čas kráti hraním interaktívnych videohier. A pretože vo virtuálnom svete je možné všetko, dokonca zachytiť v ňom vlastný život a spomienky, mohla by po sebe zanechať odkaz, z ktorého by jej najbližší čerpali útechu v ťažkých chvíľach. Splniť jej toto prianie však dokáže len jediná osoba s dostatočnými technickými zručnosťami a kreativitou. Alex je vizionár a nesmierne talentovaný vývojár počítačových hier, no svet kódov a algoritmov je mu bližší než vlastné emócie. Dokonca si nie je istý, či ešte vôbec dokáže niekoho milovať. Keď však do jeho života vstúpi Jesse so svojím nezvyčajným prianím a s očarujúcou povahou, zrodí sa medzi nimi nečakane pevné priateľstvo. K životu totiž patrí všetko, láska i utrpenie, pretože len tak dáva skutočný zmysel.
