Surgical patients are put in jeopardy when hospital administrators begin to meddle in medicine in this action thriller. Mysterious infections start without explanation in brain surgery patients in a prominent Los Angeles medical center. When deaths plague the Intensive Care Unit, the media grabs the story, the public loses faith, and the hospital is threatened with being closed. Called in to consult is Dr. June Kato. With enough trouble of her own, and only wanting to take a breather from her busy surgical practice, June agrees to look into the cause of deaths. Scraping the surface of the infections, she discovers there is more to the mini-plague than poor surgical technique. Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, and those strings lead to murderous intent. When June finally puts her finger on the cause of so much trouble, she closes in. But it's what happens next that shocks her.
