Skye Aitken is a adolescent
girl who is told she has reached the final stages of her cancer and has
little time left. Calvin Lewis is a young man working as a baggage handler
at the airport along with his father and elder brother Frank. At work,
Calvin has a crush on Izzy, a flight attendant, but has difficulty talking
to her. Calvin struggles to interact with others since he has a constant
fear that he is dying. His doctor thinks he's a hypochondriac, though
Calvin denies it, and advises him to go to a support group for those with
cancer to gain a different perspective.
At the meeting, Calvin encounters Skye, who immediately shows an interest
in him. Although he tries to explain to Skye that he doesn't have cancer,
they quickly become friends and Calvin offers to help Skye finish her list
of things to do before she dies. Initially annoyed with her blunt,
unpredictable behaviour, Calvin eventually confesses that he enjoys being
her friend and misses her when she's not around. Skye goes to a high
school party with Calvin, where she sees one of her friends make out with
Will, a guy whom she has a crush on. As Calvin and Skye begin to spend
more time together, Calvin slowly overcomes his fear of dying.
Skye manages to set up a date for Calvin with Izzy, during which she
falsely informs Izzy that Calvin also has cancer. Izzy then begins to show
more interest in Calvin, and the two begin dating. Skye reveals to Calvin
that she has always been aware that Calvin does not have cancer, even so,
Calvin hesitates to tell Izzy the truth as he is worried that she only
likes him because she thinks he has cancer. Skye learns from Lucy,
Calvin's sister-in-law, that his mother "shut down" after the death of his
twin sister in a car accident when they were 8 years old while their
mother was driving. Calvin finally admits to Izzy on a date that he
doesn't have cancer, but she breaks up with him because she is hurt that
he lied to her. Skye decides to lose her virginity to Will.
Calvin becomes depressed after his breakup with Izzy and stops going to
work, but his father convinces him to go back to work. Meanwhile Skye
admits to Calvin that she was disappointed after losing her virginity to
Will because it happened so quickly. After Skye passes out in public and
is sent to the hospital, Lucy simultaneously goes into labour, allowing
Calvin and Skye to be able to meet his new niece. Frank and Lucy announce
that they want Skye and Calvin to be the baby's godparents, even as Skye
points out that she does not have long to live. Calvin begins to have a
panic attack but Frank helps him calm down and reminds him that Skye still
needs him to be there for her.
Calvin makes efforts to help Skye finish the rest of things to do on her
lists with a little help from Izzy and Skye's parents. Calvin reveals to
Skye that he stopped celebrating birthdays for the sake of his mother
after his twin sister's death. After Skye passes away, Calvin receives
birthday cards in the mail from her to make up for the ones he didn’t
celebrate. He finally finds the courage to face his fear of heights and
decides to take a trip on a plane. During take-off, Izzy and Calvin
continuously make eye-contact with each other, implying that they may be
planning to reconcile their relationship. |
