Synopsis

To Paul Clayton, obscure shipping clerk, his forty-fifth birthday was not an occasion for celebration. It meant the achievement of status of senior citizen, and with it several dubious privileges - not least of which was voluntary euthanasia, facilitated by the government-issue suicide pill.
