It's the 1990s at a medical center in California, and patients are dying. At first, this doesn't seem strange — it's a hospital, and deaths happen. But then rumors start to circulate about a particular health care worker: Difficult or needy patients in his care are ending up dead. The cops get involved, but there's a huge problem: There's no hard evidence. Until the so-called “Lab of Last Resort” steps in.
