Kerry McGrath takes her daughter to a prominent New York plastic surgeon following an automobile accident and runs into a woman from her past in the waiting room. Suzanne Reardon, the "sweetheart murder" victim from a case McGrath prosecuted 10 years earlier, is supposedly dead, and her former husband is on death row after having been convicted of murdering her. McGrath sets out to restore the scales of justice in this twisty tale of homicidal obsession.
