Dr. Mason Fischer, a physician with a mysterious past, becomes entangled in a web of conspiracy when patients start dying under suspicious circumstances. The novel introduces a diverse cast of characters, including RT, a streetwise techie, and Dr. Carrie Mumsford, an internal medicine resident connected to the hospital's president, her father.
