Dr. Cassandra Kingsley believed she understood her life. Her medical career provided purpose and her marriage offered stability. Then cracks begin to show in both foundations. Her husband's behavior shifts in ways that unnerve her. At the hospital, colleagues act strangely around her. Patients she thought were recovering take unexpected turns. The more Cassandra investigates these troubling patterns, the more dangerous her situation becomes. Someone wants her to stop asking questions. Her pursuit of answers puts her own survival at risk. What she learns about the people closest to her threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Cassandra must decide whether the truth is worth dying for.
