Plot Summary of Kill Me
"The main character of this series is normally the therapist but readers will want to know this book is not mostly about him.
This book's main character has made an agreement with a business group. The group's purpose is to kill people when they have reached pre-approved self described level of illness or injury in order to prevent long term care needs.

The main character pays for this himself prior to becoming sick, but as he does become sick he wants more time. He enlists the help of a psychologist to work through issues as part of his need to complete things before he dies.

He also searches for members of the business group inorder to get more time to work things out. ( This is against the rules of the group)
