For recovering morphine addict Tim Matheson, performing a normal surgery like child birth should be a snap, but complications result in the painful death of the mother to be, similar to a case that ruined the career of an old friend which lead to their suicide. Matheson reaches out to the deceased doctor's widow (Emma Sams) and they begin to put all the pieces together, with too many bizarre coincidences tying the two cases together. Matheson also has to deal with ruthless bail bondsman Alex Rocco and Robert Pastorelli after they keep him out of prison, and this definitely impacts his freedom of investigating, tying the cases to a male nurse who seems to have a vengeful agenda.
Good drama, like nothing that the audience had seen on ant of classic medical shows. The investigation leads to some thrilling chase sequences and clever efforts of Matheson to elude Pastirelli (who definitely has anger issues) and Rocco. Matheson and Sams are quite good, although Sams sounds nothing like how she did on either "General Hospital" or "Dynasty". Pastorelli, a light hearted scene stealer on "Murphy Brown", is quite memorable here, once again guilty of grand theft acting, even though he isn't exactly playing a nice character. Intense thriller keeps interest, complex but not convoluted.
