Now Is Good

Plot

Tessa is 17 years old with terminal acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Aided by her best friend, Zoey, she fulfils an undisclosed bucket list before her impending death. One night, both attempt to engage in sex with two boys they pick up in a club.

Tessa goes on a radio talk show with her overbearing father in which she pokes fun at her terminal diagnosis and approaches it with humour. Tessa is loving and caring towards her brother Cal towards whom she feels guilty for stealing her parents' attention and gives him days that are all about him while dealing with her father trying to treasure every moment with his daughter. Her mother is supportive but rarely there for her. Tessa gets the last of her chemotherapy equipment removed from her body so that she can live the rest of her days normally. She meets her new neighbour Adam, who is taking care of his handicapped widowed mother and putting his own life on hold such as going to university, and Tessa instantly befriends him. Adam joins Tessa and Zoey on their adventures, and he takes care of both of them while they take hallucinogenic mushrooms before going into the forest and finding great cliffs, followed by going to a party at which Tessa and Adam start developing feelings for each other. Tessa and Zoey continue to fulfil Tessa's bucket list by stealing from a store, but after being caught, Tessa discovers that Zoey stole a pregnancy test, which suggests that she may be pregnant.
