Perish — Tom Steele

Plagued by complications, University of Chicago Associate Professor, Robert Bradford, engages in an extramarital affair with a former student. Pressured by the university to publish, but unable to connect with his creative core, Professor Bradford compromises his principles in order to meet the demands of “publish or perish”. In the end, Bradford's actions result in his murder and send his wife and his student lover on a common quest to uncover the mystery of who killed Professor Bradford.
