Don and Rodney, married for 40 years, have one month left after a rogue black hole imposes an end date on everything. Facing Earth’s final moments, they leave Maine for Washington State to handle unfinished business before time runs out. Along the road trip, they meet people responding differently to the same impossible news, including denial, rushing toward the end, and using remaining days for gathering, marrying, cooking, grieving, and staying close. The story centers on their marriage, measuring what love has survived rather than discovering love anew. The premise focuses on living when stopping the catastrophe is unavailable, emphasizing smaller moments like meals, bonfires, and conversations with strangers.
