Lynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student thinks she has everything figured out. But when her boyfriend, Carl,enters the hospital for routine surgery her neatly ordered life is thrown into chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness, and an MRI confirms brain death. Devastated, Lynn searches for answers, convinced there is more to the story than what the authorities are willing to reveal. With help from her reluctant lab partner, Michael Pender, they use all their resources to hunt down evidence of medical error or malpractice. She uncovers that hospitals associated with Middleton Healthcare have unnervingly high rates of unexplained anesthetic complications. When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they know they're into something bigger than either of them anticipated.
