FAIL

Summary

A retired psychic joins federal agents investigating a series of murders. The case leads to a killer who targets people with terminal illnesses and believes he is ending their suffering.

Why it fails

Do they have their own story?

Cancer victims exist primarily as thriller/moral premise.

Are they allowed to live?

Mercy-killing logic risks framing death as desirable escape.

Does the medical reality hold up?

Medical realities are generalized to support serial-killer conceit.
