Allison is a teacher that gets a mysterious, stinging pain in her foot one day after stepping out of the shower. She is unable to put any pressure on her foot and her doctor tells her it is tendonitis and to try some physiotherapy. The pain becomes unbearable, but doctors are stumped at what it could be. It's only after Allison demands an x-ray that she gets the correct diagnosis. Kevin is a father, truck driver and jack of all trades before his life turns upside down when he starts to get severe nose bleeds for no apparent reason. Doctors are dismissive so Kevin isn't too concerned and this continues over a few years. His nose bleeds get worse, to the point where he finally sees a specialist that figures out what is wrong - but it might be too late.
