During Christmas, Max receives an unusual present from his older brother, Robin: a geocache. He hides it in the forest near their house, excited by the anonymity it offers. However, he soon receives a note from someone calling themselves 'E.' Could it be the new girl at school, Evie, playing tricks on him?

As Max's family crisis deepens, his eating disorder worsens, isolating him from his loved ones. Ana pulls him further away, leaving him feeling completely alone. With the help of his therapist and a newfound support system, Max embarks on a journey of recovery. Through his struggles, he learns to confront his fears and embrace his worth.
