The story

On November 30, 1962, a month after the Cuban Missile Crisis, George Falconer is a middle-aged English college professor living in Los Angeles.

After awakening, George delivers a voiceover discussing the pain and depression he has endured since Jim's death and his intention to end his life that evening.

George goes about his day putting his affairs in order and focusing on the beauty of isolated events, believing he is seeing things for the last time.
