Bennett Shepherd wakes up following a heart attack to rediscover an obvious truth: his time on earth is severely limited. Given a harsh prognosis, he struggles to find meaning in his life while coping with a history that plagues his conscious, foregone eras which have regrettably defined him. Bennett is a story about life and death, the meaningful and the meaningless, renewing hope in a reality seen and touched as much as felt. Above all else, the heart of Bennett is a budding friendship that reveals how monumental achievements are often nothing more than small acts of kindness reaching out to the next generation.
