In Ready To Go, Lance Mitchell (Kevin Doyle) is taking his cat Missy to be put down. As he and his beloved furry companion make their weary way to the vet, Lance is keen to work over the thoughts he has on the subject. Cornering an old woman (Barbara Clague) on the bus, Lance relates a story he’s read about a man who, fearing knowledge of impending death, has planned to kill himself impulsively by stashing a handgun in his kitchen cupboard. But you shouldn’t believe everything you read in the paper.
