Organ procurement is a world-wide concern. There exist insufficient donors, and thousands who could be saved are dying daily. One potential solution is "presumed consent," which stipulates that upon death, the deceased is presumed to have given consent to have his viable organs donated to a person in need. A provocative and relevant topic cloaked within an adventure, Presumed Consent leads investment advisor Jon Levine, physician Alyssa Martin, and FBI agent Matthew Johnson to become ensnared in a series of adventures which embroil them in the issue. The three travel first to a Chilean offshore island where a reclusive American-trained transplantologist operates, then to several dialysis centers in Florida, and finally to an obscure transplant hospital in Bolivia. Unexpectedly, Levine and Johnson are offered the opportunity to play golf with the President, as a result of which both are appointed Presidential Advisors. Ultimately, this allows Alyssa the opportunity to make a presentation directly to the President himself, espousing the concept of presumed consent.
