About this show
As his melanoma worsens, a young husband is forced to reflect on how his wife will have to live and love after his passing. He begins to document his favourite things and advice about his wife for her future lover in his journal. But as the cancer begins to wear on his mental state, the journal delves into the dark nature of jealousy, fidelity and sacrifice.
