A nurse working in the renal transplant clinic of a New England University Hospital becomes concerned about a series of events surrounding a newly hired transplant nephrologist. Coupled with a secretive genetic engineering research project, she discovers in the animal science lab - she sees clues that her patients are unwittingly being used as test subjects and didn't receive the human kidney transplants they believe they have. Her coworkers dismiss her suspicions as wild conspiracy theory, fueled by the stress of a horrific personal loss. Nonetheless, her stoic Scandinavian drive will not allow her to quit until the truth is found. Thousands of miles away, a recent archeological excavation in Mexico uncovers fascinating new insights into the ancient Mayan culture. But what possible relevance could that have for our intrepid nurse? And why did she head off into the jungles of the Yucatan searching for answers? Her pursuit will put her at gun point with the Mexican Army, thrown in jail and interrogated by the Federal Police before uncovering answers that will leave her questioning her own sanity. Answers, that if accepted will require her to abandon her faith in medical science fact and accept science fiction as reality.
