A road-trip meditation on mortality and self-discovery, balancing the weight of terminal illness against moments of humor, beauty, and human connection.

Ben Tyler has been diagnosed with cancer. With a grim chance of survival in the best case scenario even if he immediately begins treatment, he instead decides to take a motorcycle trip from Toronto through the Canadian prairies to British Columbia.
