"What kind of a monster would murder his own sister?"

Voncelle Wallace, a recycled physician from a failed medical practice, lands employment at the Cummins-Bratton Surgical Center and continues to battle her demons of regret and might-have-beens.

Her husband, Chuck, is a high-dollar real estate negotiator for the international acquisition of the lucrative Belmont Clinic, a nearby exclusive, multiservice medical and cosmetic treatment practice. The Belmont family of physicians tends to put profits above ethics, and Chuck is not above cooking the books to his and their advantage.

But before the deal can be consummated, a rifle fired from a rooftop puts financial negotiations on hold.

Surgeon Diana Bratton's effort to avoid the Belmonts and simplify her life is derailed when new patient, Roy Garnett, arrives at her office.

Suddenly, Diana finds herself again drawn into a tangled web of deceit, high-stakes intrigue, and multiple homicide that this time could involve Voncelle Wallace.
