As her health deteriorates, she decides to make final arrangements and in the process, befriends a budding young funeral director, Duen (Eason Chan) . Soon, Ginnie asks Duen to escort her to New York where she has chosen as her final resting place. After some heartfelt pleas and a $200,000 incentive, Duen reluctantly agrees.
