More DescriptionWhile pruning plants, Becky Ball falls from her third-floor balcony and explodes in to a cart of watermelon. The resulting bang rattles windows, the marketplace vendor is knocked unconscious, and passing pedestrians are sprayed with what many fear is blood. People swoon and the body count goes up. Thinking it a deliberate detonation, the city goes on lockdown. First responders see Ball, a menacing figure brandishing a blade, and take her down hard. Not fully cognizant, the combative girl is sedated and hauled away in an ambulance with a police escort. A member of a Counterterrorism Task Force, psychiatrist Paige Storybook is assigned to find out what makes Ball tick. Ball remembers little now, but in time Storybook feels she can uncover the truth.
