The mind is a complex cerebral hard drive, powered by
emotions both primitive, strong and oftentimes out of
control. Dr. Tess Ciccotelli has dedicated her life to
helping those with problems they can't handle, which could
lead them to commit suicide or even murder. Her integrity
and empathy for her patients and others garners her a
stalwart following of those who love and admire her.
However, believing in the civil rights of her patients when
society might disagree causes Tess to be seen in an
unfavorable light by those who would vilify her for her
forthright actions. Suddenly, her world is turned upside
down when her patients are driven to suicide and murder,
and all the evidence points to Tess as the prime suspect.
Detective Aiden Reagan is definitely not one of Dr.
Ciccotelli's admirers. Therefore, when the evidence points
its accusatory finger at the "good doctor," Aiden is ready
to haul her in and throw her behind bars. Yet Tess is not
the coldhearted witch a lot of those on the force believe
her to be, and the more time Aiden spends on the case and
with Tess, the more he comes to admire and care for her. As
the body count increases, it becomes all too clear to Aiden
that it's Tess who's the target being set up for complete
annihilation. In spite of his past demons, can Aiden open
his heart and give Tess the love she deserves, while
getting her to face her own ghosts? More importantly, can
Aiden find the cold calculating killer behind the terror
before Tess is consumed by the flames of the killer's
hatred?
