Daniel's death came right after he led an eco-protest against a controversial development. As police drag their feet, Janna investigates the killing herself. Following a trail of cryptic clues from her last conversation with Daniel, she begins to uncover a conspiracy, which reaches all the way into her consulting room.
Digging deeper, Janna realizes that she and her dear ones are in peril. With lives at stake, she must risk everything to outwit her ruthless adversary and expose the truth.
