Will Tuppence is a high school freshman whose world revolves around skateboarding, stargazing, protons and Monopoly pizza parties with his two best friends, BT and Mi-Su. His whole outlook changes when he finds out protons can die, so he is constantly concerned with how life lasts. He struggles with several issues in his life: The notion that nothing lasts forever, competition with his best friend BT, jealousy for the affections of a mutual friend, his first kiss, and a relationship with his annoying sister.
