Derek Hennessy is dying...sort of. He isn't sick, he doesn't have a disease, but he's dying just the same. His family is cursed. His grandfather and his father both died before they reached the age of 40, so now, at 35, Derek is preparing for his premature dirt nap by trying to find a woman to have a child with, so that he'll have someone to carry on his DNA. Makes sense. Derek finally finds a potential co-parent in Claire, but will his ultra-close friendship with his neighbour, Lydia, muck things up? And how much time does he really have, anyway?
