Amir is keeping a terrible secret: his left leg is starting to turn black. The rot continues to spread and will soon engulf his whole body. Unless he can get rid of the leg. That is the solution he dreams of day and night. But the catch is that only he can see this horror. His girlfriend Rikke is completely clueless and doesn't take his secretiveness seriously at first. So how can Amir's burning desire be fulfilled? After all, even in liberal Norway, amputation is not available on prescription.
