Rufus eventually gets the call, and just wants to spend it with his foster parents and siblings (his parents and sister died in a car crash a few months earlier).
In another part of New York, 17-year-old foster kid Rufus Emeterio initially misses his Death-Cast call, because he was too busy beating up his ex-girlfriend's jerk of a new boyfriend. It's horrifying timing, because 18-year-old Mateo's father (his mom died in childbirth) is in a coma, which means other than Mateo's best friend, single mom Lidia, there's really no one to say goodbye to or support him on his final day on Earth. Introverted New York teen Mateo Torrez receives his Death-Cast call (there's even a special ring so you know it's them) at 12:22 a.m. Adam Silvera's third novel, THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END, takes place in an alternate contemporary universe that's basically the same except for one life-altering technological advancement: A company called Death-Cast mysteriously knows everyone who's going to die in any given day (but not how or when) and alerts each of those people somewhere between midnight and 3 a.m.
