'We’re alive. So let’s start living.'
Two strangers
Jack was sporty and outgoing. Alice was bookish and introverted. Their lives were on completely different paths.
One life-changing tragedy
That is before the day they were in the wrong place at the wrong time: before the day their lives were torn apart in a bombing.
A hopeful new friendship
Struggling to cope with their new worlds, their unlikely new friendship helps them find hope. But can they help each other rebuild their lives and start again?
