And does Maxine really have their best interests at heart, or does she have a secret agenda of her own? As the lawsuit progresses to trial, the principle characters battle with each other both inside the courtroom and out. When another neurosurgeon at Columbia, Richard Forrester, shoots himself in the head, Montrose suspects that Maxine is somehow involved and swears to uncover the truth.
