Plot summary
In 1988, when a patient identified as Gene Hanson dies unexpectedly in the office of neurologist Dr. Richard Boggs, police in Glendale, California begin what they think will be a routine investigation.

What they find throws doubt on the time of death and the identity of Hanson and raises questions about the doctor's role in his death. Soon they uncover a bizarre story of corpse stealing, fake identities, and sexual perversion– all part of an elaborate insurance case that would center on what actually caused the victim's death: a sex act gone wrong or premeditated murder?
