This is the life of Carter Graham: a young adult who ends up contracting an illness. He can either choose to go through treatment and hope for a cure, or he can choose to live out his remaining days. "Life Goes By" details the last four months of his life through a series of flashbacks and memories that he relates to a doctor.
Carter's story illustrates the love and pain one goes through when a terrifying ordeal presents itself--How one person can push another away so they must face that pain alone. Love is tested in the extreme circumstances, and the question is, "Is it ever too late to act on it?"
