Synopsis: It is 2034.4. A police unit consisting of specially selected young people has the task to hunt down the old people who have missed out on their date of euthanisia. The 16 year old Florence - one of them - is on her course up the ladder to leadership. But then two things happen: 1) her mother - born 1984.4 - receives her date of euthanisia, and it's less than two years into the future. 2) Florence meets the young dissident Eric Blair and falls in love with him.
