When young, beautiful Cassie Jensen arrives at the intensive care ward at St. Catherine’ s hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver while out walking her dog, chief nurse Alice Marlowe thinks she looks familiar. She starts obsessively digging deeper into Cassie’ s relationships, only to discover a secret that her patient has been keeping from everyone, including her devoted husband and family.
Frank, a patient on the same ward who has locked-in syndrome, can hear and see everything around him but cannot speak. Soon he comes to understand that Cassie’ s life is still in danger. While the police continue to look for clues, Frank knows the truth, but he’ s unable to communicate it.
As Frank’ s resolve deepens, and Alice puts her own career on the line in her single-minded search for answers, the reader will get closer and closer to the truth of who Cassie Jensen was, and why she was out on the road that fateful night.
