If you knew you only had a short time left to live on this planet, what would you do with that precious time?

A man with terminal cancer gives up everything so that he can live out his wildest fantasies. But when he finds love and a new lease of life along the way, even that fails to curb his crazy antics from spiraling into an unstoppable train wreck of carnage.

Liam, is a working-class man from Edinburgh, with no ambition or lust for life. When he is given the devastating news that he has terminal Cancer he decides to refuse any kind of treatment or help. Instead, he uses his terminal illness as a kind of destructive superpower to give him the fearless confidence he so clearly lacks, in order to pull off some of the crazy things he always wished to do in life.

Liam takes baby steps at first from chatting up beautiful girls, racing through rush hour traffic, jumping red lights, squaring up to jerk-off neighbors, to even assaulting arrogant traffic wardens and sexist bar-flys. Soon he is withdrawing all of his life savings and walking away from his job and home, to embark upon the final, stunning, sunset chapter of his life. Which will either lead him to ultimate salvation or ultimate destruction.

But then Liam meets Celine, his silver lining, a gorgeous young French woman with a mysterious lifestyle in the city, who gives his crazy and erratic new ways some hope, meaning and stability after they embark upon a wild few days together.

The third act sees Liam finally gathering the courage to square up to one particular and niggling, long time buried, but not forgotten demon from his past - a childhood abuser. Now he must choose between love and revenge. Yet even that decision comes at a heavy price as the seedy side of Edinburgh's underworld finally catch up to both him and Celine for one explosive finale.
