Falling under harsh criticism when he tries to investigate a strange poisoning in the hospital, Zack comes face to face with his traumatic past during courtroom depositions. And as he and his alluring lawyer look closer into the suspicious body count on the rise, uncovering the source could land them both in the kill zone.
