When the body of a homeless man turns up in an alley, it looks like a tragic case of alcoholism. But Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Kenzie Kirsch notices something strange—an IV puncture suggesting recent treatment, even though no medical records exist.

As Kenzie follows the clues deeper into the shadows of the healthcare system, she risks her career—and her life—to uncover a chilling truth.
