Seattle filmmaker Joshua Isaac, a husband and father to two young boys, documents his experience dealing with reoccurrences of epithelioid sarcoma - a rare, cancerous tumor initially found in the palm of his left hand six years prior. He explores his emotions, doubts, fears, and faith in G-d and Judaism as he endures chemotherapy, radiation, and the amputation of his left hand. Through a dark descent into the trials of a cancer patient, the film ends by ultimately celebrating life.
