As of right now, we are unable to provide an accurate prediction regarding the series’s overall storyline.
But according to Deadline, the novel’s plot summary states that “when human tornado Liv (Barber) faces a serious health issue, she is forced to reconsider her ‘live hard, die young’ mindset.”
She dives headfirst into a quest for better health and tries everything from the conventional to the outlandish in an effort to recover from her illness as quickly as possible and return to her previous life.
