Foreseen Demise

Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Everett Wiess, is the unexpected beneficiary of an unorthodox study – a method of uncovering the date and the circumstances of a person’s death. What initially promises to be a breakthrough discovery, with the potential to change the inevitable and extend life, quickly turns into a frightening journey that follows six uniquely different study subjects, who, armed with the knowledge of their deaths, struggle to change their fates. Lurking on the edge of the discovery, a profit-driven insurance corporation with a less than humanitarian interest in the outcome, and a shady new interloper whose actions threaten to tear the Wiess family apart.
