Description
When brilliance meets recklessness, the consequences are deadly.
Eminent cardiologist DR GARETH HUGHES-PARRY, a man driven by obsessive perfectionism and haunted by his own vices, makes a split-second decision after a cyclist swerves into his path. Should he stop and risk everything-his career, his reputation, his freedom-or disappear into the night? He drives on.
The cyclist is later declared brain dead. To Gareth's horror, the victim turns out to be one of his own patients-someone he was treating for unexplained dizzy spells.
As the walls close in, Gareth's carefully constructed life unravels. Enter CHIEF INSPECTOR BRIAN JONES, a quirky but razor-sharp detective determined to uncover the truth. With a manslaughter charge looming, Gareth finds himself at the centre of a high-stakes courtroom battle. But justice won't wait for the gavel to fall.
The victim's vengeful brothers take matters into their own hands, abducting Gareth and demanding ransom. What follows is a breakneck game of cat and mouse-culminating in a pulse-pounding car chase led by Gareth's fiery father, TERRY, and his band of unlikely vigilantes.
A STORY OF GUILT, REDEMPTION, AND HOW ONE FATEFUL MOMENT CAN SHATTER EVERYTHING.
