Two hospital technicians have been murdered. The evidence points to Dr. Jack Bass.
But the most disturbing mystery may be one Jack cannot solve himself. Haunted by severe PTSD and gaps in his memory, he can't be certain he didn't commit the murders.
Jack has spent his life protecting people who cannot protect themselves. Now he faces a possibility he can barely comprehend:
What if he's become the very person others need protection from?
After a traumatic end to his Army career, Jack returns to civilian life carrying wounds no one else can see. A prestigious position as Chairman of Anesthesiology at Southern Medical Center was supposed to give him a chance to rebuild his life.
Instead, he finds himself at the center of a murder investigation where every new discovery raises more questions than it answers. As suspicion mounts and the investigation closes in, Jack must uncover the truth before his chance to reclaim his life disappears.
But finding the truth may mean confronting something far more frightening than the accusations against him.
