Lincoln, the only boy in the Loud family, is diagnosed with a terminal disease. The doctors give him just a few weeks left at best. How will an eleven years old boy react when he finds out he'll die soon? And his sisters? Will they be able to hold on after the emotional core of the family is taken from them, or will they fall apart? Rated T for the feels... too sad for kids.
