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. When his ex-wife, Jewel, and her husband come on the scene, ostensibly to make a film about the Academy, he is racked by old jealousies - and he also wonders, might she secretly be checking in? Packed with meaning, The Suicide Academy is a gripping existential parable about souls adrift in modern life.
