Overview
A powerfully emotional story of four people touched by a teenās death, award-winning author Gurjinder Basranās Help! Iām Alive is a clear-eyed exploration of meaningful connection in the modern era
After video footage of Jayās death is shared on social media, a suburban Vancouver community is left to try to make sense of what happened to Jay and whether his death was an accident or a suicide.

Jayās former best friend, Ash, wonders what happened to their friendship and questions the relationships he has now; Winona, Jayās troubled girlfriend struggles with guilt and abandonment; Anik, Ashās older brother, is on a search for the meaning of life but hasnāt left his basement apartment in months; and Pavan, Ash and Anikās mother, finds Jayās death lays bare all her personal and maternal anxieties.
Unflinching but life-affirming, Help! Iām Alive is a Gen Z and Gen X coming-to-terms story about loneliness and connection, love and suffering, and the moments that bring us together and drive us apart.
