When Professor Todhunter is given a terminal diagnosis, his college swiftly removes him from teaching to avoid a scandal. Instead, he spends his remaining months pondering what he would do if he had only 6 months to live. He shares his hypothetical scenario with friends, who propose various ways to spend their final days. One friend suggests "social murder," killing someone who is not a criminal but would be better off gone. The professor becomes fixated on this idea and soon finds himself in a situation where he thinks acting on his obsession would be justified.
