Maria Hernandez, like many Americans who cannot afford surgery, had sought medical help in a Third World country, where the cost is much lower. But what was supposed to be a straightforward hip procedure turned into a tragedy. Jennifer, unaware of her grandmother's trip, travels to India in search of answers. Upon arriving there, the student encounters other cases of foreigners who died after undergoing surgery. The young woman begins demanding more information, which puts her in great danger. As if that weren't enough, the hospital administration pressures the victims' families to have the bodies cremated quickly. She manages to contact the families of the other victims to convince them to request autopsies, which are rarely permitted in India. But it seems no one is willing to help them. Suspecting something mysterious is afoot, Jennifer seeks the help of her mentor, medical examiner Laurie Montgomery. Laurie and her husband, fellow medical examiner Jack Stapleton, travel to New Delhi, where they uncover a dangerous conspiracy aimed at demoralizing "medical tourism" in India, regardless of the cost of lives.
