Cogito, Ergo... Something?

Edinburgh 2026

Anthony and Sebastian, two horrible, posh and horribly posh philosophy students, have just killed their friend Henry. Henry’s crime? Simply being deemed too boring for these two wannabe Übermensches to live. Unfortunately for these two so-called “superior beings”, in the act of attempting to prove to themselves that they can commit the perfect crime, they’ve double-booked themselves. So before they can finish their plan of the perfect crime they have to host a dinner party with their questionable friends. While Henry is in a box. Like Schrödinger's cat. But this one is hopefully dead.
