Dr. Addison Fischer never imagined that she would be invited to collaborate with a prospective Nobel Prize winning scientist, but a seemingly innocent meeting reconnects her with Dr. Emmitt Strydent, her high school classmate. Strydent is on the brink of getting a new blood pressure treatment on the market and recruits her lab to assist in the study. Continually bombarded with red flags, Addison starts to wonder if she's gotten in over her head. While Strydent is pushing to get his treatment into the last phase of a clinical trial, Addison feels like she is racing against time to piece together the clues he leaves in his wake.
