(The) Last Year

What would you do if you found out that you had a year of healthy living left – but probably no more than that? Deborah stumbles into her own version of this scenario smack-dab in the middle of her Scottish family’s Christmas holiday time. And she decides not to tell a soul. Then the fun starts…(The) Last Year tells the story of that year. Nothing turns out the way she expects, of course. And her bucket list seems to include catching up on some neglected bits of her history, back in the United States. Including being haunted by a doppelganger whose life doesn’t seem to suffer, like Deborah’s, from a pre-selected sell-by date. Deborah’s story turns out to be odder than she’d expected when she got hit with the unexpected news. And she gets to burn through her savings on some adventures, without feeling guilty. So, maybe there’s an upside to knowing what’s likely to be your nemesis? Deborah’s year might turn out to be the best one she’s ever lived.
