A surgeon whose background includes quality assurance is made aware by a reliable source that another surgeon, of whom he has been critical in the past, purposely developed problems during a procedure that led to the patient's demise. He follows that surgeon's cases more closely, as he attempts to make a plausible account of what this nefarious surgeon is doing, and what he finds begins to confirm his suspicions. His concerns are not accepted by any of his colleagues apart from one other surgeon who is supportive. This leads to animosity and damage to his practice and family life with his wife becoming increasingly disapproving about his involvement. Nevertheless, he is convinced crimes are being committed and resorts to seeking legal advice as well as involving the district attorney's office. This results in a confrontation between both forces, one that supports the accused surgeon and the one that brought the charges. The outcome was not expected.
