Harlan is about a suicidal, death-obsessed teenager — Harlan Sexton. Turning himself into a ticking bomb, he has decided to kill himself at the end of the school year unless his closest friend Julian can find a way to change his mind. And that's just the beginning—the tension is amped up by the return of his abusive father, a serial killer stalking his female classmates, & a feud with a jock.
