Fara refuses to stop trying, and somehow, his heart starts beating again.Minutes later, a hospital maintenance worker collapses and dies without warning.When Fara discovers that the two men were connected by a secret buried years ago, she begins to suspect that saving one life may have cost another.Then Elias Renner appears. A respected philanthropist who has spent years studying unexplained recoveries, Elias knows more about what happened than he is willing to admit. But someone accessed an old hospital file thirteen days before Fara's impossible rescue — and even Elias doesn't know who did it.As Fara digs deeper, she finds a world built around secrets, unresolved debts, and lives that seem to be connected in ways no medical explanation can account for. The more she learns, the more dangerous one question becomes:If saving a life always comes at a price… who decides who pays?
