But when he fixates on a child patient he thinks has a potentially lethal disease, no one believes the diagnosis. They all think he's losing his mind. When one of Dan's critics is senselessly murdered and the evidence points to the damaged doctor as the prime suspect, his bad situation becomes desperate. But there's a dark secret linking the ill child and the murder victim-one that no one other than Dan can see. Can he overcome his paralyzing despair to reveal the truth and clear himself? And if he does, will it be in time to save an innocent child from a terrifying fate?
