Linda's Last Trip documents the moving story of 64-year-old Linda Patchett who, with the support of her family, courageously attempts a groundbreaking, and legally tolerated, new therapy in order to come to terms with her terminal diagnosis.

In 2020, palliative patients in Canada were granted legal access to psilocybin (aka "magic") mushrooms to treat end-of-life distress under the care of professional healthcare providers. After being diagnosed with an incurable cancer, Linda struggles to make peace with her mortality. She particularly struggles with significant changes to her once active body and lifestyle, and has trouble accepting the reality that her family will have to continue their lives without her. Having lived a challenging life with astonishing resilience, Linda is determined to make the most of her final months. Encouraged by her son, the first doctor in Ontario to treat a palliative patient with "magic" mushrooms, Linda takes a high dosage while under the care of her psychotherapists. This trip, and the events leading up to and following it, change the course of the end of her life.
