Film was filmed with a contemporary New York backdrop to support a story about a high-achieving lawyer whose personal life is unstable after a divorce. His worldview is challenged when he meets a doctor who insists he can sense imminent death and intervenes to help people resolve unfinished matters. Street intersections, bridge approaches, and subway infrastructure are used to ground the supernatural premise in everyday city movement and routine.
