Sabrina Katz thought her sister's murder was the darkest moment of her life. It wasn't. Two months after her sister's death, Sabrina is out for a morning run and discovers a body along the Oregon shore. The police believe it's a suicide but her instincts suggest otherwise. Why would he jump in the water? Could it be murder? And why does she feel so much anguish toward someone she doesn't know? After dumping her boyfriend, first-year schoolteacher Gina Hyde learns she's unexpectedly pregnant. Confused and distraught whether she should have the baby, she visits a clinic and is offered a new path forward: They will cover her costs as long as she's willing to donate her time and placenta to stem cell research. But there's a catch: Gina must be willing to have the procedure done in Acapulco. To Gina, it's the perfect out. But when she realizes their true intentions, her life becomes embroiled in a conspiracy nobody could've imagined. While seemingly strangers on different paths of life, Sabrina and Gina discover a world around them full of corruption, kickbacks, immorality, and murder--and a horrifying discovery that will rock the biotech community ... if they don't become victims themselves.
