The End

Sonny learns he has a fatal blood disease and a prognosis of three months to a year. He resolves to die by suicide to avoid a slow, painful decline. He visits a hospital ICU to process the prognosis and quietly sets his plan in motion.

He confides his intention to die to his best friend and lawyer Marty in a private talk. He keeps the prognosis and his plan hidden from most friends and family, choosing to say farewell on his own terms. The confession marks the shift from contemplation to action.

Before carrying out his plan, Sonny meets his daughter Julie and his ex-wife Jessica for the last time, concealing the full prognosis from them. He tries to act normally while slipping out of touch with reality for a few moments. The encounters heighten the emotional stakes of his decision.

He takes an overdose of sleeping pills, intending to end his life. He wakes up not at home but in a mental institution, where he has been committed by Marty and Jessica. The abrupt switch pivots the story into a new, unsettled phase.

In the psychiatric ward, Sonny befriends Marlon Borunki, a paranoid schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder who has been committed for murder. Marlon expresses sympathy for Sonny's wish to die and aids in various 'attempts' that prove dangerous and misguided. Their uneasy alliance foreshadows both help and risk.

Sonny meets Dr Maneet, a psychiatrist who is herself facing a fatal diagnosis. For a moment she rekindles Sonny's will to live by suggesting there could be meaning in the time he has left. The glimmer fades when Maneet dies soon after, in Sonny's arms.

Dr Maneet dies in Sonny's arms, cutting short the fleeting spark of hope she stirred. Sonny is reminded that a meaningful future remains uncertain. The moment deepens his resolve to pursue life despite the odds.

Sonny and Marlon escape from the facility, continuing their dangerous game with mortality. The jailbreak intertwines a friendship with a volatile, life-or-death trajectory. The escape raises the stakes for Sonny's survival.

Sonny retrieves a gun from his girlfriend's house to shoot himself. The weapon jams, foiling his immediate plan and forcing a new course of action. He heads toward the coast to attempt suicide in the sea.

He travels to the coast and dives into the sea, attempting to drown himself. While fighting the waves, he imagines Jessica and Julie discussing him at his funeral, a revelation that makes him reconsider dying. He eventually reaches the shore, buoyed by a vow to God to live.

He crawls back to shore alive, the sea failing to claim him. He negotiates with God, offering a share of his future profits if he lives—50%, then 30%, and finally 10% as proof of his intent to endure. This moment marks a spiritual redemption and a commitment to stay alive.

Marlon, having found Sonny's gun, fires at him repeatedly to fulfill the wish that Sonny die. Each shot misses, keeping Sonny alive and shaking Marlon's own resolve. The incident underscores the precariousness of Sonny's new vow to live.

Marlon brandishes a knife and chases Sonny along the beach, forcing a perilous choice between death and life. Sonny increases his pledge to God, promising even more if he can escape. The pursuit ends with Sonny still fighting to live, though the danger remains.
