Plot

Richard is a world-weary college professor who is given a life-changing terminal diagnosis and decides to throw all pretense and conventions to the wind and live his life as boldly and freely as possible with a biting sense of humor, a reckless streak, and a touch of madness. Living his life to the fullest at the very moment he’s faced with the end of his journey: He binges through every vice - drinking, smoking, carnality, and hurling blunt insults at anyone who annoys him. As the clock counts down to final judgement, he comes to terms with the great truth of his life and learns to embrace all those people he hurt whom he loves deep in his heart. Awakening his inner good spirit to wisdom, principle, and good love above all else.
