Cooper, who checked in to meet with his patient and good friend. The 8th person is Claire Harlow, Christine's mom, she is here to meet her ex and Christine's father, and she doesn't know that Christine is that too. As everyone hangs out and everyone is waiting for someone, they start talking and things get weird because everyone is supposed to meet a man named Wilfred. They were all invited here by one man, Wilfred "Willy" Harlow, who is trying to put his ruined life in order before he dies, because not only is he old, but he is also very sick and doesn't have as much time left as he would like. He invited several people closest to him, with whom he not only wants to share the bad news, but also wants to spend a beautiful time with them and settle the estate.
