An American plane crashes in a remote farm on England's Cambridgeshire Fens. Out of the flames walks a young woman, Maggie Beck, with a baby in her arms--the only two survivors. Now, twenty-seven years later, Maggie is dying. As she lies in the hospital, she give a startling deathbed confession to the patient in the bed next to hers, Laura, a woman slowly awakening from a coma. The confession would blow open the murder case that Laura's husband, reporter Philip Dryden, is covering... if only Laura could communicate the shocking secrets she's learned.
