[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
At a country house, five guests gather and are chosen by a brilliant scientist to take part in a shocking experiment which will let them glimpse one year into the future. However, when the experiment takes place, two of the guests see their own obituaries in The Times one year after. Will they be able to change their destinies?
Part of the action is clearly autobiographical, including featuring the agonies of a contemporary up and coming politician.
