At the end of his tether, a writer travels to Key West along with his wife. She's hoping to cheer him up, but he's hoping for something more fatal... Every schoolboy in America knows the work of Wilkie Walker. A pioneering naturalist, he won fame and fortune along with his accessible nature books. But by enough time he turns 70, his renown is practically gone. Late during the night, he sits up torturing himself with fears that his career was a waste, his talent is fully gone, and his person is shot through with cancer. His wife Jenny, 25 years younger than Wilkie, can tell only that he is out of sorts. She has no idea her husband is on the verge of giving up on life. When Jenny suggests spending the wintertime in Key West, Wilkie goes along with it. In the end, if you need to plan a fatal "accident", Florida is a properly good place to do so. So when they touch down in the sunshine state, the Walkers find it isn't too late to live life - or end it - nonetheless they damn well please.
