Elliot is a prankster, unpredictable, and never takes life too seriously. These have always been the characteristics that his brother, a far too suppressed Paul, loved about him. But now that Elliot is dying of cancer and is choosing his “Right to Die” under the Death with Dignity Act, Paul isn’t too sure of what to make of his brother’s recklessness. Paul internally struggles with his brother’s choice and unwillingly performs his brotherly duty of playing ‘chauffeur’ as he drives Elliot around the city to cross off his ‘bucket list’ before they drive up to Mammoth to meet their mother - where they will all three be together for the last time. After helping Elliot send his old bosses to hell, tell his group of friends the truth, and safely get to Mammoth, where they spend intimate time with their mother, Paul comes to terms not only with his brother’s choice to die, but his own ability to experience emotions rather than suppress them.
