Benjamin Kasparian is a recently divorced paleontologist who learns from his doctor that he is afflicted with Talbot’s Syndrome, a mysterious brain disease that leaves him with less than six weeks to live. At first, he wrestles with the weight of this news in a calm, philosophical way, but very soon he decides to seize the remaining days and savor life as much as possible.
