Piece by piece events leading to the attack emerge, revealing a long-standing arrangement between a country doctor and his wealthy clients. Can Vita protect the amnesiac patient from the toxic partnership of the doctor and his dangerous assistant? Can she escape herself, and convince the police to investigate so many convenient deaths.
