Flight from Destiny background

Flight from Destiny

As his health rapidly declines, an elderly professor must come to terms with his mortality and decide how to spend his remaining time.

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.
