Having started a family later in life, Nasar fears he won’t live to see his children grow up and decides to be cryonically frozen after death, hoping to one day reunite with them. His family face a dilemma: follow suit or risk being left behind? As their future concerns start to overshadow the present, Nasar is forced to confront his decision and reassess what truly matters.
