What would you do on your last day on Earth? What if you were just born that morning? A baby named Tom is born with a strange condition that makes him age four years every hour. Nurse Ana saves him from being poked and prodded for the rest of this short life and smuggles him out of the hospital to show him what life is all about, ahem…as if she knows!
