Follow twenty-eight days in the life of eighteen-year-old Patrick, as a mysterious wooden box helps him control his destiny, for better or for worse.

February is cursed. Or so eighteen-year-old Patrick believes. As his life fills with mock exams, cross country races, a bully and an unrequited crush, it looks as if the next four weeks will be nothing but dreary. But when he stumbles across a Fatecube – a box with the alleged ability to predict one’s destiny – he's able to take control of his day-to-day struggles; dodging illnesses, winning competitions and earning the attention of the girl he likes. Fate has its own plans, however, and Patrick’s meddling soon has dire consequences.

A coming-of-age tale with fantastical elements, confronting our struggles of grief, identity, and the desire for control in a chaotic universe.
