Overview

It was the moment of truth! She had to make a choice regarding his fate. -- J. WELDON SCHAFER is admitted to Community Hospital, comatose, the result of an automobile accident that causes massive head trauma. Over four months later, his condition is unchanged. He is totally unresponsive and maintained on life support. -- The state of California has just enacted the Death with Dignity Act, making euthanasia legal. Schafer has been selected by Dr. Alec Kellogg, ex Chief of Staff and euthanasia advocate, to be the first patient to have his life terminated under the new law. -- Meanwhile, Schafer has miraculously awakened from his coma, an observation known only to his night nurse. For personal reasons, she decides to conceal his return to consciousness for a period of 72 hours, providing her with an opportunity to secretly converse with her patient. Ultimately, depending upon what she is able to learn from him, Schafer's fate-life or death-will be decided by nurse, Chrissie Keelan.
