Synopsis

Charlie and Anna make a pact to assist their terminally ill friend Gavin to die. This traumatic event is the catalyst for an emotional rollercoaster ride for both the friends and family. From illicit affairs and leftover morphine, to devastating accusations and unwitting betrayals, WALKING ON WATER is a refreshingly unsentimental film about friendship, loss, loyalty and love.
