I stopped playing Benevolent White Man and became a better doctor. But on a cold Manhattan afternoon, a weary seventeen-year-old girl who was having her third kid with a third father looked me straight in the eye and spoke an indisputable truth: "You don't know my life."

Not far from the chaos, two men torture and murder someone gruesomely under orders from their wealthy boss. At that very juncture Beck gets an anonymous email with a link that suddenly broadcasts the live feed of his wife ! Is she really back from the dead? The investigators on the other hand suddenly become hell bent on cornering Dr Beck for not only the murder of his wife but those unidentified men too. But all that topples when two men are found murdered and buried near the same lake where his wife was abducted. Unable to leave behind that dreadful night, he moves along a mundane life for eight long years reliving the horrors of that fateful night over and over again.
