Eight regular individuals. One remarkable decision.
It seems to be just another day. After waking up, you make a cup of coffee and leave.
However, there's a little wooden box waiting for you when you open your front door these days. Your destiny is contained in this box; it contains the answer to how long you will live.
Everyone on every continent gets the same box, whether they live in a tent in the desert or on a suburban porch. The globe devolves into a communal frenzy in an instant. From whence did these boxes originate? Why do they say that? Do they really mean what they say?
Everyone is faced with the same startling decision as society grows and breaks apart: do they want to know how long they will live? If so, what are they going to do with that information?
The Measure follows the emergence of this new world through the choices and outcomes of a remarkable group of people: lifelong friends whose dreams become intertwined, pen pals seeking safety in the unknown, a couple who didn't think they needed to hurry, a doctor unable to save himself, and a politician whose box turns into the powder keg that finally causes everything to change.
