过去三十个小时所发生的一切将吉姆彻底击垮了。他感觉浑身麻木.虽然世界依旧未变,他却觉得自己已被世界抛弃。
吉姆和他的妻子康妮刚刚失去了四个月大的儿子——可爱的约书亚。医生初步诊断为“婴儿猝死综合征”。

三十个小时之前,吉姆驱车前往婴儿看护室去接儿子。这是吉姆除了周六周日外每天都要做的事。然而,当他到达目的地时,却发现约书亚已处于深度昏迷状态。接下来的几个小时是一片混乱:急救笛鸣响不停,急救人员、医生和护士们均投入到紧急状态中……医生们决定立即乘飞机将约书亚送到六十英里以外的儿童医院进行抢救……然而,一切都是徒劳的。十二小时后,医生用尽了办法,而约书亚的大脑依然没有任何反应。医生们只得取掉他身上所有维持生命的医疗器械,就这样,小约书亚走了。医生们希望能够得到约书亚的器官捐赠。而对于吉姆和康妮这对极具爱心的夫妇来说,这是他们义不容辞的事。

第二天清晨,夫妇俩有了许多新的决定和安排——他们需要打电话安排葬礼。就在这时,吉姆想去理发,但是由于他是这个社区的新成员,还没有自己的理发师。因此,他的哥哥主动打电话给自己的理发师,替吉姆预约。那位理发师的日程表原本已排满了,不过,当理发店的老板听说了吉姆的遭遇后,立即决定:“现在就让他过来吧,我们会为他安排好一切的。”
