Emerging medical researcher Amara Ferguson prefers the precision of science over the messiness of people. Especially since her high school sweetheart dumped her without explanation. Science makes sense. People don't.

 

Her summer job at a prestigious research institute seems perfect: it's a step closer to becoming a renowned scientist and a distraction from her broken heart. And when she meets Robert, a charming PhD student, she gradually stops feeling miserable at all.

 

But as Amara's feelings for Robert begin to intensify, she discovers that he is keeping secrets. Dark truths about his involvement in medical research and the sacrifices made for the so-called greater good. Caught in the tangled lines of right and wrong, it is far too late by the time Amara realises: Some cures are more dangerous than the diseases they’re meant to treat.
