`'Dan [...] introduces us to a shocking post-trauma world where everything and nothing makes perfect sense'. Annie West, award-winning illustrator

'I've never read anything quite like it ... funny, moving and terrifying all at once.' Rick O'Shea

Joel lives in a nursing home and he's not one bit happy about it. He doesn't like being told when to eat, when to sleep, when to take his pills. In fact, he doesn't like living at all, and he's decided he's going to end his life on his terms.

When he tells retired soap-actor Frank about his dark plan, Frank urges him to go out with a bang. Together, they embark on a mission to find the perfect suicide, and along the way, discover the strength of friendship when you really feel alone.
