What would you do if you found out that you and people close to you were going to be killed in the near future? Andrei, a mid-level manager, will have to think about this question repeatedly over the course of three weeks, constantly choosing between good and evil. Every time a decision must be made as quickly as possible, since every day the number of victims is growing and the killer is getting closer. The book represents the author's understanding of Erich Fromm's books, presented in the form of a fictional novel.
