Kyle, a young Iraqi War vet, starting a life with is new wife, is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. After all he's been through in life and war, he's going to die in a hospital. Before that happens he wants to make his life has had some meaning, to have had a purpose. He realizes because he will die, he can do anything, he's free -- untouchable by the law or any moral restraints. His best friend's life was derailed by a crime many years earlier and Kyle believes he has found the man who did it. He has to meet and get to know him to be sure, to find out who he is, if he's going to be able to find some kind of justice. But living without restraints doesn't mean living without consequences.

  • Cheryl Bear: Good To Go

    A powerful case for wanting to do good with our lives, for making a contribution and knowing we had purpose. But perhaps the most important purpose and meaning is simply the life we live with those we love and that connection. Well done.
