Kenneth Eugene Smith, en dødsdømt i Alabama, står over for den første amerikanske henrettelse med nitrogen, efter at have tabt sidste øjebliks appeller. En tilsyneladende humoristisk blanding af mislykkede forsøg på henrettelser og nye eksperimenter har bragt spænding til de trendende nyheder i Danmark. Smith har været genstand for en række appelafslag fra den amerikanske Højesteret, mens han står over for den banebrydende nitrogenhypoxi. Selv tidligere guvernører har ydet indsats for at stoppe denne usædvanlige udvikling, der markerer en ny æra i amerikansk retfærdighed. Hvordan ender dette luftige eventyr for den berygtede Kenneth Eugene Smith? Kun tiden vil vise det.
