Synopsis by Bernadette McCallion
This made-for-television mystery is a medical-thriller with a twist. Crystal Bernard stars as Susan, an L.A. newcomer who finds a new friend in ulcer-sufferer Nicole (Traci Lords). When Nicole (who has no medical insurance) needs emergency surgery for her ulcer, Susan comes to the rescue and offers to let Nicole use her identity and health insurance. The charade seems to work until the unexpected happens -- Nicole mysteriously dies after her operation and takes Susan's identity with her.
