When noted anesthesiologist Reginald Larsen consults Michael Stone for therapy, Michael soon learns that Larsen, suspended from his hospital, is being investigated for claims of sexual impropriety. Although Larsen is confident and eager to fight the charges, Michael senses that disturbing truths are hidden beneath his calm exterior.

But just as the Larsen case heats up, Michael is consulted by a colleague whose client is a victim of past sexual abuse. When Michael suggests the client confront her father with her shattering recollections, it is a choice with violent and lethal results. Now, with a lawsuit threatening her career, and a deadly predator ensnaring her in a frightening pursuit, Michael remains determined to protect those most vulnerable-even as her walls of defense collapse around her.
