When a young man suddenly dies, Nina, his wife, is left alone with their baby and her Alzheimer's-sticken father. Soon thereafter, Nina discovers a frightening pattern...that young men and women all over town are dying of "heart attacks" at an alarming rate. In the tradition of Coma comes a gripping medical thriller that explores the world of brain research - and the nightmare that results when one man puts science above human life in an effort to find peace of mind.
