In an effort to find out more about the man who can't move on, she uncovers disturbing medical records: dozens of otherwise healthy women who died and were disposed of under the doctor's care.When Abigail starts to worry that she might be his next victim, she becomes desperate to find a way out despite some new friendships with persistent town locals. Just as she thinks she's found an easy exit, she realizes the threat might be too close to escape.
