Summary

One in this dramatic anthology series. In this emotionally charged drama, a strong-willed woman, Kate, and her loved ones try to deal with her approaching death when they learn that her malignancy is not responding to chemotherapy. As Kate battles the grim reality of her illness and her imminent death, the important people in her life are exposed to her anger and pain while trying to deal with their own.
