Summary

Will is drifting through life, stuck in an unfulfilling job and using his volunteer shifts at a crisis helpline as a way to avoid facing his own struggles. Annie, a journalist, is mourning her father and feeling trapped in a relationship that’s lost its spark. When Annie calls the helpline one evening, their unexpected conversation sparks a connection neither of them saw coming.

As they continue talking, their anonymous bond begins to grow, pushing them to confront their pain and begin healing. Told in alternating perspectives, The Lifeline is a moving story about grief, mental health, and how even the most unlikely connections can change our lives.
