All people must die, but everyone faces death in a different way. Tom Anastasis, a fifty-five-year old widower, is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is given six months to live. He goes to an island in the Caribbean to spend his last days there, where he fishes, snorkels, and surfs. He keeps a pooetic journal, telling of his last days, as he faces death head on by fully living until his spirit is released into the glorious afterlife.
