First, do no harm…

A deadly storm is brewing off the sultry coast of Florida and within the sterile walls of Palm Beach County's Becham Hospital. Nurse Ariel Savin thrives in the demanding world of critical care, but on an assignment to the neurological unit, she discovers a horrifying secret: esteemed neurosurgeon Dr. Harold Goss is performing questionable experiments on his helpless patients, trapping them as living cadavers in a shadowy half-world between life and death.

Goss built his neurological unit for research in brain stem regeneration to save the life of his brain-dead wife. But funding for Goss's noble quest has dried up. Dark investors step in with a plan to commodify human consciousness, trading lives for profit. They're demanding more bodies. It's up to Goss to provide them. He's not about to let Ariel or ethical dilemmas get in his way.

Falsely accused of causing a patient's brain death, Ariel's reputation is in shambles. Her father's life hangs by a thread and her partner is unwittingly tangled in a web of deceit. Ariel faces a whirlwind of betrayal and loss as a hurricane draws closer. She's in a harrowing race against time to outwit death and unravel the truth. Seconds matter and the next breath is not guaranteed. Can Ariel outwit sinister predators and thwart a medical massacre, or will the oncoming storm demolish all hope for love and justice?
