Summary

In September 2004, a 15-year-old girl is suddenly struck with fatigue and blurred vision. When she’s rushed to the hospital, she’s given a grim diagnosis: she’s dying and there’s nothing medical experts can do. But one doctor has a desperate last-minute idea: an experimental treatment that could save her life… or lock her into a fate worse than death.
