Plot
15-year-old Kirk Mead (Toby Fisher) is a typical fun-loving child, living in Auckland, New Zealand. He likes to hang out with his friend Ronnie (Elliot O'Donnell) and is in a relationship with Tory (Nicola Cliff). One day, he is shockingly diagnosed with cancer. At the hospital, he meets ex-streetkid Marty (Nikki Si'ulep), who seems to be the exact opposite of him. Despite their differences, Kirk soon develops a first antagonistic, and later friendly relationship with Marty. One night, the two sneak out of the hospital to have one final fling of freedom.
