À l'invitation d'une amie, Annie se rend à Toronto pour des vacances, mais elle y reste afin de rechercher sa sœur.

Set in Toronto at an unknown date, Last Night tells the story of how a variety of intersecting characters spend their final evening on Earth. It seems the world is to end at midnight as the result of a calamity that is not explained, but which has been expected for several months.
