It's been only a year since Utah became the last state to pass legislation granting age-of-majority sufferers of mental illness the Right to Die. When seventeen-year-old Koralee Benson wakes up in the hospital having survived a suicide attempt, her parents are desperate to get her help before her next birthday, when she will have the legal right to request a lethal dose of Repose7, a medication that has revolutionized the practice of assisted suicide. Dr. Crimm is the lead psychiatrist with Right to Life, an organization that promotes mental health treatment and support, and funds research into alternative treatments for mental illness and suicidal ideation. Right to Life was founded by the Wilkinson family, owners of tech giant Virtual Now, as a response to the loss of their own son to suicide. Their unconventional program combines the use of an experimental medication with a virtual reality technology that allows study participants to relive their traumatic experiences through the eyes of other people. Koralee is recruited to join five other teens from around the country, all grappling with their own demons, in an adventurous exploration of perspective, friendship, trust, and healing-possibly the only hope these suffering teens have at regaining the will to live.

When the judge overseeing his case hears about the experimental medication that could help regain his memories, he pulls R2L and Dr. Crimm into a battle of morals and ethics.…
