Dr. Kate Bennett is a brilliant young pathologist with a loving husband and a bright future. But her world is about to be turned upside down.

At the Omnicenter - a high-tech health facility for women - a strange and puzzling illness has killed two patients. The illness has no definite cause, let alone a cure.

Now her best friend has fallen ill and is presenting the same symptoms as the previous victims - and Kate must expose the sinister plot before it is too late.

However, with powerful enemies and few friends, Dr. Bennett's disturbing discovery comes to threaten not only her career, but also her marriage, her sanity and her life.
