On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo and Rufus to give them some bad news to say the least : They're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day.
Mateo Torrez is a teen who suffers from anxiety and keeps to himself as much as possible. While spending time scrolling through CountDowners, a blog he spends all his time on. He receives a call from Death Cast.
~ Connected by fate (and their End Day)
to spend their last day together ~
Rufus Emeterio is bold and courageous, and hates social media. He prefers to live in the real world. He got a call from Death-Cast while he was in the middle of beating up the current boyfriend of ex-girlfriend.
