In 2014, after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and given one year to live, popular Las Vegas comic and magician, The Amazing Johnathan, real life Johnathan Szeles, decided to retire. Three years after that, however, he is still alive. Director Benjamin Berman makes him the subject of his first documentary, but he quickly learns that doing so is not as simple as he thought it would be. When conflict arises between the director and his subject, the film that intended to be an inside look at an ailing magician’s last tour morphs into something else.
