Christine Rose has accidentally met and talked to a suicidal man who held a gun. She had talked him into putting it down and had called the police. He then suddenly picked up the gun again and shot himself. She knows that she said something wrong to him but can't remember what this is.
Just a few days later she sees a man on the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin who is on the wrong side of the railings and is about to jump off. She talks to him and they agree on a deal, she has 2 weeks until his 35th birthday during which time she has to convince him that life is worth living.
Christine refers to every self-help book she possibly can so that she can show Adam how to enjoy life and all the things around him. She also has to help him to win back his girlfriend and work out what to do about the family business he is being forced to take over when this is not what he wants to do. For 2 weeks they spend almost every minute together and Christine is determined to convince him that he will want to continue to live.
