* Synopsis :


Every year in the United States there are 30,000 murders.

In that same time there are 60,000 suicides.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get these people together?


The Altruist is a story of death, murder, and deceit with flavorings of romance and compassion.


The small company Terminal Assist specializes in counseling people and helping them through the toughest of times in life. They offer legitimate services to needy people. But, oftentimes, there are no alternatives to compassionate help but the most extreme ones. Some people are just so bad off with a terminal illness that they need instant relief, to kill the pain.


If you have thousands of murderers out there, and thousands of people wanting to opt out of their terminal problems, why not marry the two? Everyone is happy (or happily dead) in the end and the law is none the wiser. If anyone found out, there could be problems. Boy, could there be problems...
