Sometimes, what looks like the end is actually the beginning.
Globe-trotting reporter, party girl and ex-ski bum Kate Rice has escaped a miserable marriage. Her kids are starting lives of their own.
She's poised to start a brand new life. She's started singing rock 'n' roll in a legendary club in New York's Greenwich Village. She's gearing up to leave New York and return to the mountains she left so long ago.
And then she gets a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and six months to live.
By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Cured chronicles the transcendental and against-the-odds triumph of a woman discovering the healing power of unleashing her own badassery.

Armed a sense of humor, an indomitable spirit, and a tenacious will to live, Kate embraces her cure—surgeries, radiation, chemo and immunotherapy—with irreppressible joie de vivre and the power of a woman who will no longer allow her voice to be stilled.
