Seven Pounds

The story begins with Tim making a shocking call to 911 to report his suicide. This haunting moment sets the tone for his journey of redemption following a devastating event from two years prior.

Two years earlier, Tim Thomas sends a text message while driving, resulting in a catastrophic car accident. Tragically, this accident claims the lives of seven individuals, including his fiancée, Sarah Jenson.

In an effort to atone for his past mistakes, Tim embarks on a mission to save seven deserving people. The significance of this mission becomes clearer to him as he reflects on the lives he affected during the film's conclusion.

One year after the accident, Tim donates a portion of his lung to his brother Ben, who works for the IRS. This act of kindness represents the first step in Tim's journey towards helping others.

Six months later, Tim donates part of his liver to Holly, a dedicated social services worker. Motivated by a profound desire to aid others, Tim continues to seek out those in need.

Tim identifies junior hockey coach George as another potential organ recipient. He donates a kidney to him, realizing that his mission extends beyond mere contrition; it is about providing a second chance at life.

In a further act of compassion, Tim donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas. This donation underscores Tim's commitment to saving lives and atoning for his past.

Utilizing unlawful IRS credentials, Tim investigates potential organ recipients by visiting their workplaces and homes. This undercover approach allows him to assess their worthiness for his life-saving donations.

Tim discovers that Stewart Goodman, a manager at an assisted living facility, is engaged in unethical practices. Disturbed by his behavior, Tim decides against helping Stewart, realizing that not everyone is deserving of his sacrifices.

Tim reaches out to Holly for recommendations and is introduced to Connie, a woman trapped in an abusive relationship. After an initial rejection, their paths cross again after a violent incident, prompting Tim to offer her a safe haven.

Following an act of desperate violence at home, Connie reaches out to Tim, eventually moving into his beach house with her children. This act of kindness showcases Tim's growing sense of responsibility and compassion.

Tim evaluates Ezra Turner, a blind meat salesman skilled in playing the piano. After a test of character, where he attempts to provoke Ezra, Tim is impressed by his calm demeanor and decides he is worthy of receiving help.

Tim becomes drawn to Emily Posa, a greeting card designer struggling with a heart condition. Under the guise of being from the IRS, he helps alleviate her tax burdens while fostering a strong, supportive bond.

As Emily's health deteriorates, she is admitted to the hospital, compelling Tim to act quickly with his final donation. This race against time heightens the stakes of his mission and reveals the depth of his commitment.

In a heart-wrenching conclusion, Tim fills a bathtub with ice water to preserve his organs before ending his life. His sacrifice grants new life to others, with his organs going to intended recipients, setting the stage for new beginnings.
