Ted McKay, a family man with a thriving career, faces a terminal brain tumor. With a gun in hand, he is approached by a mysterious stranger who proposes a chilling plan: kill two men before Ted takes his own life. The first target, a criminal, and the second, a fellow terminal cancer patient, both mirror Ted’s own desperate desire for death. As Ted carries out the killings, he notices uncanny connections—his victims recognize him by name, clutch familiar mementos, and appear in places he would never expect. The murders force Ted’s mind to unravel, exposing buried secrets and dark fragments from his past that threaten to consume him. In this tense psychological thriller, the line between fate and free will blurs as Ted confronts the true cost of his own mortality.
