Before she got Covid and infected him, putting his already fragile life in danger.To protect Tobys health in the years that follow, Phoebe dedicates herself to pathogen avoidance, refusing to touch any potential sources of contaminationhandrails, doorknobs, vending machine buttons, and even other peopleleading to an unintended life of seclusion. By the time she reaches high school, her only sources of respite are pottery class and her friendship with Walter, the elderly owner of the used bookstore where she works parttime.Now Walters devised a plan to help Phoebe overcome her anxiety, and she must decide whether to continue isolating herself or risk everything initiating a friendship with the charming subway busker she cant help but want to touch.
