Synopsis

At the age of eighteen, Raymond Tyler Prentice was thought of as an outgoing and generous student by his peers. In his spare time he tutored other students and was active in many charitable fundraisers. He was popular and sought out at social events for his wit and charm. His academic achievements left many to believe that greater things lay ahead for this gifted young man. But there was the hidden and darker side of Raymond Tyler Prentice; that of a greedy calculating killer. Although he was wealthy by way of a family trust fund, his sister and grandfather stood in his way of inheriting all of the family fortune. As a consequence of that greed, Raymond Tyler Prentice would be convicted of the premeditated killing of three people and condemned to death by lethal injection. After ten years on death row, and with his appeals about to be exhausted, Prentice employs a brilliant attorney to come up with a legal strategy to prevent his execution by demanding that as condemned prisoner he be allowed to donate his organs after the execution. As the ethical and legal battle ensues, Raymond Tyler Prentice is granted a legal respite from his execution. He uses that time to plot and then orchestrate, from his jail cell, the murder of the police detective who cobbled together the damning evidence which led to his conviction. For Raymond Tyler Prentice, his fourth murder is about to take place.
