ETTA'S FOUND THE CURE FOR OLD AGE. BUT HER FAMILY WON'T LIKE IT . . .

Etta is sixty-eight years old. Happy, healthy and an active participant in her world, she's gathered her family together for an unforgettable weekend.
Tick.
At 5am that Saturday morning, Etta wakes her daughter, her granddaughter, her son and her daughter-in-law up to lead everyone down to the beach. To 'Etta's Hollow', where a roaring fire has already been lit. Drowsy but delighted - the sun is just starting to rise for a glorious dawn - Etta's family bask in the beauty of the moment. A memory to be cherished forever.
Tick.
Until twenty minutes later, when Etta announces to her assembled beloveds something as shocking as it is alarming. 'I have brought you all down to the beach this morning to tell you something important. You see, the thing is, today is my last day alive.'
Boom.
Over the next twenty-four hours, Etta and her family are about to have the most surprising, affecting and life-affirming day of all their lives.
