But the man standing over her, with his face hidden behind a surgical mask and wielding instruments, is no doctor she recognizes at the hospital where she works as a successful and respected doctor.

Before Alex can even scream for help, she succumbs to another dose of anesthesia, rendering her unable to defend herself... When she comes to on a gurney, she finds herself surrounded by her colleagues and immediately reports the attack and rape. The police are skeptical of her bizarre story.

Until she meets the next victim...
