It's been several months since Dr. Elena Gardner's husband
died. She still has questions about her choice. Now those
questions surface again when she is attending another
patient laying in a vegetative state from a stroke. Like
Elena's husband, Ernest Pulliam is being kept alive by
machines. Elena is the last person in the room before he is
found dead, his respirator disconnected. It was the same
scenario with her husband.
The questions haunt Elena because she does not remember
pulling the plug on either man. Then the phone calls begin
every Tuesday at midnight, troubling her even more. There is
only sobbing on the other end, then nothing. She is even
more disturbed when simple notes arrive through the mail
saying that someone saw what she did and she will pay.
Perhaps she can put it all behind her soon when she finishes
her residency in Dallas and moves on to a private practice.
But in the small town of Dainger, TX her troubles follow and
begin to compound. The phone calls continue and several
other incidents occur that have Elena seeking both legal
counsel and psychological help. Will there be an end to this
misery? Elena turned away from God when her prayers for her
husband were not answered. Could He be the answer to her
troubles now?
