The story

Wendell "Sonny" Lawson, an unscrupulous Los Angeles real estate promoter, learns that he has a fatal blood disease and has between three months and a year to live. After visiting a hospital ICU, he decides to die by suicide rather than endure the slow, painful death his doctor describes. He takes the time to meet with several friends and family members for the last time, including his daughter Julie and ex-wife Jessica, hiding his prognosis and his intentions from most of them.
