A double-threaded mystery set in Colombo's medical world. When a young boy succumbs to his injuries in the ICU of a busy hospital, no one considers it anything but the result of a tragic accident. No one, that is, but Lotus, a dreamy, introverted medical student, the narrator of the story, who is a chance witness to his final moments. Determined to find out what really happened to him, she embarks on a trail that takes her through the hospitals, slums and mansions of Colombo, and is forced to confront some surprising truths about herself as well as reveal dark secrets behind the apparently respectable façade of the medical establishment.
