Larry and Joan, an argumentative elderly couple married for 65 years, attend a family gender reveal party. Joan has terminal cancer, which the couple keeps secret. At the party, Larry is shown a picture of Luke, Joan’s first husband who died in the Korean War. Larry suddenly chokes while eating a pretzel and dies. Larry awakens on a train as a young man, soon discovering he is in the afterlife. He meets Anna, his assigned Afterlife Coordinator, who informs Larry he must decide where he wants to spend his Eternity.
Anna informs that each Eternity has a unique theme, but that all decisions are final and attempting to escape will result in banishment to the Void, a place of infinite darkness. Larry decides to await the arrival of Joan in a space called the Junction. Soon afterwards, Joan succumbs to her cancer and arrives at the Junction as a young woman. She is reunited with Larry, but her AC Ryan also arrives with Luke, who reveals he has been waiting for her at the Junction for 67 years. Prompted to make a decision with whom to spend her Eternity, an overwhelmed Joan confides in her recently deceased friend Karen, while Larry leans on Anna for help.
Because of her special circumstance, Joan is granted permission to sample two Eternities—one with Larry and one with Luke—before making her final decision. She attends a mountain wilderness-inspired Eternity with Luke, where they visit the Archives, a building in each Eternity that shows moments from an individual’s life. Luke and Joan watch their love story, but Luke becomes upset when he sees that Larry proposed to Joan at the dock where he said goodbye to Joan before heading off to war. Joan then visits a beach-inspired Eternity with Larry, who refuses to enter the Archives to revisit their life together.
