Hold Back the Stars

A few years from now, not too far in the future, two people meet.
It’s a classic story of boy meets girl.
Except that it’s not.
When we find them, they have an hour and a half left.
Unless they can save themselves, they won’t survive.
The clock is ticking.

Bittersweet and life-affirming, Hold Back the Stars is the love story of the year.
