A romantic rivalry leads to an innocent woman's murder. Or is it a hoax crime, part of a cunning deception?

Meanwhile, a senior hospital staffer, who is the mother of one of the two doctors, plots to enhance her son's chances, a mysterious outsider who says he knew the dead woman tails the two men, and Laury may be more than she appears.
