A venture capitalist tumbles off a balcony during a biotechnology conference in Boston and reporter Addy McNeil gets a chance to regain her foundering career when the only suspect in the murder is her ex-boyfriend.

As Addy dives into the heady world of Boston's emerging biotechnology industry of the early 1990s, she finds plenty of motive for murder as well as some truths she'd rather not know.
