'We choose the way we live, Jenny. Why shouldn't we be able to choose the way we die?'
Nicola is suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. Everyone around her is committed to doing all they can to make sure her life is as comfortable as possible. When though, Nicola and husband Robert decide that there is now no more to be done, friends and family, past and present, unravel as the last ten years of their lives re-surface. A kaleidoscopic and heartfelt look at the impossibilities of having to let the one you love go.
