But Tilda disappears and Simon, desperate, turns to her best friend Lucinda, who has already retreated into seclusion due to a terminal illness. Then Tilda's body is found and Simon suddenly becomes the prime suspect. The days until the end of the world are counting down, and Simon and Lucinda just want to get to the bottom of the truth...
