After a night out drinking with friends in Rotterdam ends in a terrible crash, twentysomething Vera wakes in the hospital to discover one of her legs has been amputated. Frustrated and angry, she struggles to accept her new reality until she encounters kindred spirit Xander inside her rehabilitation facility. Frank and funny, he has no patience for the platitudes offered to people with disabilities and no particular interest in following the institution’s rules. As Vera develops charged feelings for Xander, she also embarks on her own journey to understand how to live life on her terms while navigating the world in a wheelchair.
