Thelma is the busy single mom of 12-year old Louis. When is hit by a truck one morning, their lives are changed forever. Louis falls into a coma and if he doesn't regain consciousness in the next four weeks, he may never wake up again.

At home in Louis's bedroom, devastated Thelma finds a "bucket list" of all the things Louis wants to accomplish in his life, and she suddenly sees a way to survive. She will fulfill her son's dreams in the hope that it will bring him back to her. With the help of his nurse, Thelma sets up a video link in Louis's hospital room so he can follow her on his adventures.

His first wish: to spend a day in Tokyo.
