"A 12-year-old-boy tries talking to his mother. She does not listen. He leaves unhappy. He crosses the street on his skateboard. The boy is hit by a truck. He is in a coma in the hospital. His prognosis is bad. If he does not improve in 4 weeks, they will have to unplug the life support machines. At their home, his mother finds her son's notebook where he has listed his dreams and the experiences he would like to experience. For four weeks, she decides to live her son's dreams, or to live in her son's place." -- Cataloger's summary.
