When a man is found dead - and naked - in New City Hospital

and is unidenti ed, the chief of staff calls his friend, Ron Looney,

Homicide detective to assist in solving the case.

Looney's pursuit of the facts leads him and his partner, Gene Novalchek to encounter violations of hospital procedures,

a major corruption scheme in Cincinnati and an intricate attempt at murder.

At stake are individual lives, public reputations and a large sum of money.

The detectives have to widen their perceptions of complexity and their geographic responsibilities to solve the murder and bring the culprits to justice.
