'Elenore Knightly is just starting her career as a clinical psychiatrist in Boulder, Colorado, taking over the practice of her friend and mentor, Ira Benham. She is both terrified and ecstatic at the prospect of helping her aging 'friends' deal with end of life care.
Ira introduced her to a special couple, John and Samantha Wright. Samantha has slipped into a coma after a stroke.John is always by her side, holding her hand and reading to her. He seems at peace, saying that he and Samantha talk nightly in their dreams. They are ready for Samantha to leave, they are not afraid.
