When Dr. Noah Spencer retires from private practice to accept a job
offer from his longtime friend and protege, Steve Nesbitt, Noah
can't begin to imagine what's ahead. In his new position as medical
director of Salyer Medical Center, Noah discovers shocking
irregularities in the hospital's quality-management reporting. And
he finds Steve's indifferent attitude toward below-standard
performance to be unusual and disturbing. Steve becomes deeply
indebted to a Mafia-owned casino and attempts to climb out of his
cash-shortage quandary by accepting kickbacks. The fact that he is
blatantly betraying his hospital weighs heavily on Steve's mind.
When he is pressured by the Mafia to participate in a
money-laundering scheme, he decides to break his ties with them.
Now privy to the illicit operation of the Mafia, Steve becomes a
target for silencing. link exists between Steve's gambling problems
and the quality issues at the hospital. Eager to help, Noah and his
wife become embroiled in a sequence of events with Steve and his
wife that threatens to entangle them in the FBI's
testosterone-driven investigation of a corrupt underworld
organization.
