In a futuristic society in England, a group of young adults is selected to take part in a social experiment in which they are given a D.O.E. (Date Of Elimination) and are monitored to have the effects of the knowledge of dying on their lifestyle recorded. Bethany Holland-- an intern from New York-- is requested by the committee to be a part of the experiment while she is left unaware of the procedure. She accepts the request solely for experience in the field of sociology, but is in reality taking part in something much more tragic. Truthfully, everyone does have to pass away at some point, but if we had knowledge of the time, the day, the year that we die... Would it improve our lifestyle or destroy it?
