When Krista went to work at her local downtown convenience store in the summer of 2020, she expected to deal with many different scenarios with her customers. But she never expected to fall in love. Mark, a regular, misunderstood, train-hopping alcoholic, would soon become the love of her life. Through getting to know him as he panhandled outside her store and falling in love, she begins to understand that everyone out there has a story of how and why they end up in the positions they're in. Most of all, she didn't expect to be falling in love with a man dying of alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

This is the story of how two people, regardless of the dark cloud over their love, decided to fight to be together until the very end, whether it was the outcome they prayed for or not—all the while bringing happiness and joy to each other amid a painful disease.
