Synopsis

Sebastian Bergstrom was the young star goaltender for the Boston Bruins, the franchise player who was going to return the legendary hockey team to greatness. That is, until he suddenly collapsed during a game, launching a contentious and complicated medical investigation that culminated in Sebby s triumphant return to the ice. But a few months later, Sebby went down again, this time for good. His death touched off a malpractice suit against the Harvard cardiologist who cleared him to play. Though eventually exonerated of any wrongdoing, the case took a horrible toll on the doctor and his family. The Bergstrom case resurfaced a few years later, when the attorney who led the lawsuit against the doctor fell victim to a savage attack on the Harvard Bridge. The police zeroed in on a prime suspect, an old friend of the doctor sued in the Bergstrom case... one Philip Sarkis, MD.
