Zach Bridger receives a call that changes everything. His ex-wife Rebecca lies in a coma after a brutal attack, and he holds medical power of attorney. The former Super Bowl MVP quarterback cannot bear the decision and walks away, leaving Rebecca's parents to keep her alive. Four years pass. Rebecca's wealthy attacker Eban wins early release from prison through family connections. State prosecutor Kate Lennon sees the injustice and wants Eban back behind bars permanently. She needs Zach's help, but her legal strategy demands an impossible choice. If Rebecca dies, Eban can face murder charges. Only Zach has the legal authority to end her life support. Kate and Zach fight their growing attraction as they navigate this moral maze. Eban realizes the danger and decides to eliminate them both before they can act. Zach must weigh justice against conscience while Kate races against time.
