This is a realistic story of human passion and weakness behind the ultramodern façade of a big city hospital—the saga of Kurt Severton, an brilliant surgeon who feels duty-bound to prevent a whitewash of a bungled operation by his chief, Dr. Tolliver.

There's Donna, Tolliver's wife—hot, vibrant, and eager to love—who thrusts herself wantonly into Severton's life.

And Marti, his mistress, who gives him everything a woman can give: love, loyalty, passion.

But above all, there is Severton's guilty conscience. Has he the right to expose a colleague's professional mistake when his own personal life is not above reproach?
