About Under the Knife

After a patient dies during what should have been routine surgery, Dr Kate Chesne is blamed for a fatal medical error and faces a malpractice case. Convinced that the records do not tell the truth, she challenges attorney David Ransom to investigate. As evidence suggests the death may be one of a series of murders inside the Honolulu hospital, Kate realizes that proving her innocence may also mean surviving the killer.
