The film begins with Nelson Wright, a medical student, looking towards the city skyline and saying to himself “Today is a good day to die”. Nelson convinces four of his medical school classmates — Joe Hurley, David Labraccio, Randall Steckle, and Rachel Manus — to help him discover what lies beyond death.
