One Week

“What Would You Do?”

Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson), a Toronto schoolteacher, has been told he has cancer and that his odds are poor even if he starts treatment at once. He skips the treatment and buys a motorcycle, pointing it west toward British Columbia across the prairies. Michael McGowan tracks him through a single week on the road, with Campbell Scott's narration alongside, and every day away from the hospital is a day Ben cannot get back.
