Would you consider this new found ability a curse or a gift? Michelle Wakefield spent over half of her young life in hospitals, due to a genetic disease and a negligent mother. After nineteen brain surgeries, she was released from the hospital with a clean bill of health on her eighteenth birthday. But something strange happened after her last surgery. She began seeing auras around people and quickly notices a pattern between the color and the state of health the person is in. She is terrified to see her best friend, Susan's aura change and knows that she is in danger and that the new boyfriend is the reason. She begs Susan to stay away and tries to enlist the help of Susan's parents, only to have her warnings dismissed. Much to her horror, Susan is found murdered two days later.

She gets a job as a nurse at a prestigious hospital in Minnesota where she reluctantly falls for the mysterious and unbearably handsome Dr. Ronin, who is stubborn and difficult to deal with. She quickly discovers that her talents put her at a real advantage for helping people. That is, until patients start dying mysteriously and she realizes that someone at the hospital is a murderer.
