Summary
Young ICU nurse Whitney Kirkpatrick’s life is turned upside down when the police show up at her door looking for her boyfriend of nine months, Gregory Thomas.

With the support of family and friends, Whitney finds the strength to move on and to educate others about identity theft and white-collar crime.
