Cole, a 28-year-old man convinced he’s on death’s door, gathers his closest loved ones for what he believes will be his final farewell. Struggling with what he thinks is a life-ending illness, he calls his parents, sister Amber, and best friend Michael to spend one last day together.

Michael arrives first, cracking jokes to ease the tension. Soon, Cole’s mother and sister show up, followed by an emotional exchange about family memories, unresolved tensions, and a father who’s late because of work. The mood grows heavy when Cole finally confesses: “I don’t know how much time I have left.” The family is shocked. Michael is upset that Cole hid his illness, and his mother demands to know where Cole’s wife, Camilla, is.

Cole explains she’s at work, but he wanted to focus on the people gathered around him—his family.As emotions boil over, secrets slip out: Amber and Michael have been secretly dating for three months, something Cole had long suspected but never approved of—until now. Giving them his blessing, the family finally begins to relax, sharing memories and laughter. Then Camilla walks in. Confused by the dramatic scene, she learns why everyone is gathered—only to burst out laughing.

“Cole, you have a mild fever! It’s just a cold!” The room falls silent, then erupts in disbelief. His father storms out. His mother is furious. Amber and Michael, however, are amused, teasing Cole for his “final farewell” that turned out to be a dramatic overreaction. In the end, Camilla lovingly scolds her husband, promising him some soup for his troubles. Cole, sheepish but comforted, realizes that maybe he’s not dying—but he is loved.
