Facing a premature existential crisis and an irrational fear of death, Noah finds purpose in life for the first time.
With only several hours left to bond and time ticking against them, they attempt to learn more about each other through deep conversations about life, death and everything in-between, all while exploring hidden wonders of different cities.
Confronted by an inner voice, Noah's deadly obsession grows stronger by the minute but Jamie's demons are holding him back. What happens when success and desire clash? Will these secrets be enough to tear them apart? Ultimately, will love prevail?
