Bancroft and Deckermensky are two terminally ill cancer patients who sneak out of the hospital for a series of adventures, their main goal being to reach a famed brothel in Amsterdam. In a stolen ambulance, they make their way to Holland. Along the way, the duo stop over at the wedding of Bancroft’s former flame, who abandoned Bancroft when he became ill. They also encounter various characters, including a pair of misfit British women, Hazel and Maureen. Though Maureen and Decker hit it off, Bancroft sees the women—who are unaware of the men’s terminal condition—as a distraction from his quest with Decker.
