Short Time

Burt Simpson is a divorced and depressed cop, whose only joy in life is his son. Then, one week before his retirement, he is told he is dying of a fatal disease. His life insurance policy, however, will only pay out if he is killed on active duty. Burt must get himself killed within a week. So he ventures to the most dangerous neighbourhood in the hope of meeting his death, but instead saves the day and is considered a hero. As his attempts escalate, he tries to make the most of his remaining time.
