A dark and beautiful tale of a most unusual school. Wolf Walker is the director of the Suicide Academy. Troubled individuals come to his school for just one day and must decide whether to end their lives. As for Wolf himself, he is suffering a kind of death-in-life. The Academy's board members have involved him in a policy skirmish, and the depressed employee he had an affair with is not getting any better.

Packed with meaning, The Suicide Academy is a gripping existential parable about souls adrift in modern life.
