A man who sees no light ahead has set a date for his suicide and counts down the days of his last month, taking leave of the world in the only way he finds possible: by dissecting it in cold blood. The novel sets out to trace, step by step, the sequence that leads to such a decision, which is never spontaneous, while through his shadow the man is offered a chance of redemption, or at least a last deal with God.
