In Winnipeg, Dr. Cas Pepper has just found out he has a terminal brain tumor. Dylan Morgan is an aspiring writer. The two first set eyes on each other in the hospital ward, where Dylan was trying to get inspired for her writings. Despite being a mismatched pair, the two end up on a journey together, largely out of a joint incident with Dylan's boyfriend Bobby, to head "west". This journey was originally Cas' alone as part of what he felt he needed to do in light of his diagnosis, his complete mission about which Dylan is unaware. Although he would like to do this trip on his own beyond the issue with Bobby, he finds it is more difficult to get rid of Dylan than he would like. It seems as if Dylan is both running away from Bobby, and running toward what she hopes is that lucrative writing career, that next step being a meeting with a representative at a publishing house in Vancouver. This journey ends up being one of discovery for both, both in terms of learning about the other's full current mission - which each believes he/she gets a better handle on from information gleaned from the other's cell phone - and what the other truly means to him/herself in their short time together.

| Toronto StarLinda BarnardEven if Cas & Dylan isn't as polished as it could be, there are still enough pleasing moments to make this road trip worth the ride. |
| Canada.comJay StoneScreenwriter Jessie Gabe has a few surprises up her sleeve, particularly at the end. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIt's a testament to the stars that they manage to sell the third act sentimentality after wading through so much screenplay triteness and unimaginative direction. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an earnest yet underwhelming endeavor that's hardly a cut above most garden-variety made-for-television enterprises... |
| Globe and MailKate TaylorWildly energetic performances could perhaps disguise some of these problems – or at least keep an audience entertained during a slow ride – but Priestley does not draw from his performers the work we all know they can do. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenGreat actors stuck in predictable road-trip flick. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaThe story ends up being one wrong turn after another. A GPS hasn’t been invented that could get this plot-hole-riddled script back on track. |
| Slant MagazineMatt BrennanThe film simply mucks up its earnest take on the buddy movie with undercooked characters and on-the-nose writing. |
| User ReviewLee MA great feel good movie! An unlikely pair turn out to be just what the other needed! |
| User ReviewJohn KReally great, it was a two thumbs up quirky indie movie, not the traditional mainstream formula movie. Dreyfus and Maslany play well together |
