Andrew Thomas Stevens is not having a good day, or good life for that matter. He is jealous of those around him for how normal their lives are, and has, at his young age, already figured out how meaningless his experiences have been. So, now everything has come to a head. He must decide if he wants to live or die. On this journey, however, this question will have more than metaphorical consequences as he faces off against death in its various incarnations, and learn that choosing between life and death goes deeper than his body's state of decomposition. His journey takes him from the familiar streets of Westchester into a more uncharted Hudson Valley and heart of the Shawangunk Mountains. His journey culminates in a most unlikely confrontation to solidify the choice between life and death. The question as to which is braver will be answered.
