They find solace in their friendship and in their own ways discover that a dying person's forever becomes a survivor's tomorrow. Their uproarious escapades create a tsunami of media attention as they battle hungry bears, plunge the depths of the mystic Yukon River, suffer the magic mushroom antics of a mischievous therapist, and slide the slippery slopes with a slimy bush pilot.
