When Annie Bello turns up in Mensah's wards needing a new pacemaker - after 30 years in hiding - he asks junior doctor Rahul to perform the operation. When Annie is later found murdered, Rahul is arrested. What secrets link Rahul to Annie? Is there a connection between the faulty pacemakers and the government?
