Facing what could be his last night, Elliot’s path intersects with Chloe Webb, a young photographer who invites him to her art show. Elliot welcomes the distraction and as the night descends, Chloe takes him on an intimate and exhilarating journey through the city. But as morning approaches, and Chloe learns of Elliot’s condition, the magic of the evening unravels, and they must together face the uncertainty of Elliot’s future.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Parker Croft co-wrote the screenplay, drawing from his own health scare at nineteen. The bicycle scenes weren't scripted—he actually loves cycling.
This quietly influenced the 'sick teen romance' boom before The Fault in Our Stars made it mainstream. Way less glossy, way more real.
