A weathered gunslinger embarks on a contemplative quest to find a dignified and peaceful conclusion to his existence.

An aging gunfighter, John Books, seeks a second opinion from a doctor after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctor confirms the grim prognosis, giving Books only a month or two to live.
