The movie started as Adam was jogging around the city he started feeling pain from his lower back which he immediately consulted to a doctor. The doctor explained that Adam has a rare spinal cancer and his chances of living is 50%. Even though Adam doesn't like to tell her mother about his illness he decided to just say it. Adam's mother decided to move in with him and Rachael. Adam rejected her mom, however, as Rachael promised to take care of Adam. Adam also told his problem to Kyle (Seth Rogen) which is his best friend. Kyle did not take it that seriously because he said that 50/50 is still a good chance of living. Adam started to go to a inexperienced therapist, Katie (Anna Kendrick), and although their relationship and sessions started on a wrong foot, he slowly begins to open up to her about his experiences about the disease and how is it affecting him. After a few weeks, Kyle saw Rachael dating another guy and she was cheating on Adam. Kyle immediately reported it to Adam and the two broke up right away. Rachael started to beg for Adam's forgiveness but Adam refused to. Adam fought hard for his survival with the help of his best friend Kyle, Katie the therapist , and his parents.
