After finding out he has a month left to live, high school junior Felix Chester focuses all of his time and energy on one goal: losing his virginity to his dream girl.

The kid has certainly got his priorities straight (go out with a bonk, not a whimper). Actually, with a nip and tuck of the premise, the story could be interesting and comical. (I'm assuming it's a coming of age comedy.)
