Since the death of her mom, filmmaker Susan Austin has been obsessed by what experts call the Good Death. A gold standard in dying. But this wasn't Susan's experience with her mom.

As Susan reflects on her own experience, she comes to appreciate all we're up again in America: a medical system that often keeps people fighting for their lives, doctors ill-equipped to guide the dying, and a culture that simply doesn't know what to do. The film leaves viewers wondering what they will do in these situations and lets us off the hook where we might fall short.
