SYNOPSIS

Jeremy, a forty-year-old musician, is a man in crisis.

The sharp-tongued and increasingly cynical Jeremy is disappointed by life’s offerings, and no longer capable of self-medicating away the sobering sadness that comes with awakening from society’s countless delusions. It’s with this conundrum, and depleted reservoir of inspiration that he decides to end his life. A cheating wife, self-absorbed friends and the fading interest to keep making music tip the scale, and affirm what Jeremy perceives to be his final freedom.

With the decision to plunge from the Golden Gate Bridge at sundown, Jeremy embarks on a cathartic farewell tour through San Francisco, saying his goodbyes, tying up loose ends, and slowly dissolving the many complex layers of his being. He makes quick work of friends, family, and band mates, but his journey gets side tracked when he has a chance encounter with Miles (13), a tenacious, misanthropic and wise-beyond-his-years leukaemia patient who abhors the victim mind-set that predominates the cancer ward, and has formulated an escape plan of his own to live out his days in dignity and self-discovery.

Jeremy’s frankness and matter-of-factness about life, death, and the human condition enchants Miles, and motivates him to tag along on Jeremy’s farewell tour, oblivious of its ultimate destination. In the spirit of Jeremy’s mission, he refuses the friendship, attempting on several occasions to deflect and dodge the equally steadfast Miles. But after a city-wide Amber Alert is declared, Jeremy is strong-armed into letting Miles join “the tour”.

Through their ensuing misadventures, Miles taps into Jeremy’s hidden depths and brings back emotions he thought were long lost. Together they re-discover the most primal conditions of the human spirit and gain new perspectives, which ultimately steer both their individual journeys to an unexpected finale.
