Andrew Benson has a plan. A nursing student at one of the best hospitals in New York State, Andrew is the smartest one there and he knows it. He has a long and sordid history with this hospital, and he's here for revenge - if he can make it through without attracting too much attention. And no one notices him more than the object of his affections, his teacher and the lead doctor, Dr. Kathy Silvey. However, she doesn't notice him in the way he wants, making his job a touch more difficult, especially with the aid of her boyfriend, Officer Ken Hill.

Ken Hill is a man with secrets, both on and off the job. He tries to do right by his family, despite his gambling problem and debt, and when relatively healthy patients at his girlfriend's hospital - including her grandfather - start dying, he promises to find out who is responsible. She already has a suspect in mind: That off-putting nursing student sending her chapters of his novel and claiming they have a connection, Andrew Benson. But there isn't enough evidence to convict Benson, so Hill must catch him in the act. However, with bills coming due both on and off the books, plus a huge gamble that could lose Hill his career, his family, and possibly his life, he must scramble to save everyone, and everything, that's important to him. He might even make a new friend along the way.
