At first sight it is a simple story about a luckless pathologist. Severyn is not valued at work and is badly paid, something incomprehensible is happening in his personal life, and his self-esteem is at zero. Practically at rock bottom, he seizes a chance to make some money. The offer is not quite legal, and little good can be expected from the organ transplant market, but it is tempting to secure a comfortable life at last: all Severyn has to do is take from people who are already dead some small thing they no longer need. Step by step, decision by decision, the man everyone despised, on the edge of alcoholism, grows confident and then unscrupulous, and one crime makes the next one easier.
