As a medical examiner, Stephen Englehart’s job is to speak for the dead by uncovering the truth about their demise. He’s the best in the business, solving hundreds of crimes and providing families around the world with answers to the death of their loved ones.
However, even with his ability to spot clues often overlooked by others, he is completely stumped when the body of a US marine is brought into his office. The body had supposedly been burnt beyond recognition in an explosion… but it lies perfectly intact on his gurney. Englehart can immediately tell that something strange is going on.
His suspicions are confirmed when he discovers that the marine is actually alive. Englehart’s gut is telling him that something dangerous is going on at the base, and he is determined to figure it out.
However, with his sister going missing, the military makes it perfectly clear that they don’t want him digging for any more information. In fact, the entire military machine seems designed to prevent Englehart from uncovering the truth about the mysterious marine and his sister.
Stephen realizes that he must stand against an entire army on his own. He never believed that he could be the hero, which is why he chose to become a medical examiner over a soldier himself, but for his sister’s sake, he didn’t have much choice.
