This story introduces New York City pathologist Laurie Montgomery as being new to the medical examiner's office. She uncovers a series of drug overdoses and gangland-style murders with a grisly twist.An abnormal increase in the number of drug overdose cases makes Laurie seriously suspicious, and she starts investigating these cases. The going is, however, not as smooth for Laurie as the Chief Medical Examiner Harold Bingham is adamant that no further investigation needs to be done on these cases because of heavy political pressure related to the death of a young banker who is also the son of a Senatorial candidate. Laurie is asked to write off his death as a normal one even though his is a clear case of drug overdose. Though, Laurie reluctantly agrees to this, she cannot stop herself from researching on all these drug overdose cases and finding some common features. She discovers that all these cases are related to young, rich and successful people; the kind that normally would not be associated with such drug overdose cases.At the same time, Lieutenant Lou Soldano is behind a series of gangland-style murders.

Their findings reveal a shocking organ trade related to the corneal surgeries that were done at the Manhattan General Hospital.
