Dr. Jack Culver is the medical director of a rehabilitation unit in a small town hospital in southern Illinois. After six rehabilitation inpatients die in one quarter, he becomes convinced that a serial killer is loose in the hospital. He and Rickie Davis, a rehabilitation nurse, are the only ones who believe the deaths were murders. In an attempt to convince the hospital that a serial killer exists and must be stopped, Culver risks his reputation, financial stability, and even his health.
