When Kerry McGrath - a smart, relentless prosecutor - takes her daughter to see a plastic surgeon following a car accident, she sees a woman in the surgery with a beautiful, hauntingly familiar face.

On a subsequent visit, she sees the same face again - on a different woman. . . Suddenly she remembers: both woman look startlingly like Suzanne Reardon, the ""Sweetheart Murder"" victim whose husband, Skip, is now serving a life sentence for that murder.

When Kerry starts asking questions, she discovers that just about everyone wants the case kept closed.

Still she persists - but what she doesn't know is that it is already too late.

Her puzzled queries have triggered a response and she is in great, growing danger.
