It was supposed to be a routine procedure, but the patient unexpectedly died in the operating room. For attorney David Ransom, it's a simple case, and he's won several before the courts. As the grieving family's attorney, he is determined to bring down the negligent anesthetist who made a mistake. But then Dr. Kate Chesne bursts into his office claiming that something much worse is behind the patient's death and that someone is trying to pin it on her. Looks like Kate's career is in jeopardy. But when another dead body turns up, David begins to believe her. Suddenly, it's much more than that - a killer is on the loose among patients and staff at a Honolulu hospital! And David begins to ask himself the same questions that Kate is desperate for answers to. Who's next? And why?
