Description
Dr. Alanna Davidson's life is upended when her father is shot and paralyzed the same night a cutting-edge medical robot is stolen from his laboratory at DARPA. Three years later, the crime remains unsolved.
Alanna, now a senior resident at Los Angeles Memorial Hospital, is puzzled when high-profile patients start dying unexpectedly after routine surgeries and investigates the deaths.
At the same time, the LAPD is tracking a serial killer with a surgical signature who is leaving bodies in the most dangerous neighborhoods of the city.
When a Memorial resident becomes the newest victim, Alanna's investigation leads to her father's stolen robot and to a predatory healthcare company intent on taking over Memorial Hospital. But Alanna's sleuthing brings her to the attention of the killer. Not only her career, but her life is now in danger.
