Synopsis
editOriginal official synopsis from mebmarket.com,[10] english translation by bltai.com.[2]
Do you have a right to terminate your life?
The suspiciously increasing rate of deaths in terminal patients left an indelible trace of doubt in Pol.Cap. Wasan’s mind. His mother, who had just passed away only a few days before he arrived in his hometown, might be one of the victims of this incident.
Dr. Kantaphat, a palliative doctor who had taken care of Wasan’s mother in her final days, became the one who took care of her son’s heart in his sorrowful days as well. As their relationship went deeper, the mystery was gradually unraveled and every clue, in this case, led to Kantaphat.
How could Wasan’s break through this dilemma and trust his lover with all of his heart?
