The great Tom Skerritt leads this adaptation of David Guterson's best-selling novel, the story of a terminally ill man whose journey to end his life on his own terms takes an unexpected twist.
When retired heart surgeon Ben Givens learns that he has terminal cancer, he takes his beloved dog back to his boyhood home in Eastern Washington, determined to end his life on his own terms. Ben's journey, though, takes an unexpected turn, and soon becomes an adventure against which he pits himself with characteristic stoicism, wit, and determination.
