Mike Tyson (not to be confused with
Mike Tyson) is a 16-year-old student living in the Canadian town of Faintville. Tyson
attempts suicide, though after surviving he soon finds out that he has a deadly tumor. Initially, the tumor appears as a godsend in Tyson's mind as he becomes increasingly preoccupied with the desire and development of a mission to find a way to end his life. This mission is reinforced by his religious figure's encouragement for Tyson to find a plan for himself and follow through with it. After finding out about his tumor, Tyson meets Miranda and his priorities in life change from his morbid preoccupation, to spending time with and learning about his new love interest. Soon after, Tyson also meets his father; a figure that had been absent in his life until this point in time. Cynthia, his mother, objects to his father's sudden return, but becomes closer to him after learning that Tyson has planned against getting surgery to remove his tumor: the only means of saving his life. Tyson becomes overwhelmed with the conflict between choosing to fulfill his wishes of ending his life versus his thoughts and feelings surrounding his new relationship with Miranda. These feelings lead Tyson into making a spontaneous decision to run away with Miranda on a road-trip. After witnessing Miranda being struck by a car and suffering an unfortunate death whilst still on their trip together, Tyson decides to get the surgery that will remove his tumor. Ultimately, Tyson chooses life. == Cast ==
