In one year's time, Joseph and Evelyn plan to end their lives on their own terms. She has received a diagnosis and he cannot - will not - live without her.

And so begins their joyful, difficult, bittersweet final year. A year to spend time with the people they love, to see some of their dreams final become a reality, to hold each other close. But as their final days draw nearer and their choice becomes more real, will they still want to go through with their plan?
