A quick shot in the temple? Accepting chemotherapy that may not be effective but must be painful in exchange for lingering in the hospital for a few days? Go home and enjoy the last moments with your lover? Or, like Ben, say goodbye to his beautiful fiancée and run away on his dream motorcycle? . In the journey of self-redemption and self-discovery, the hero, who will he meet, what will he encounter, and what kind of experiences and insights will he get in the last week of his life? What Ben brought us through was not his story, not someone else's story, but a questioning of the little perplexities in each of our lives.

Narrator: When you get those rare moments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you try desperately to hold on to them. They are the life boats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely illusive. So the question becomes, or should have been all a long... What would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live. What life boat would you grab on to? What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfil? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?
