Synopsis
Kit Owens harbored only modest ambitions for herself when the mysterious Diane Fleming appeared in her high-school chemistry class. Diane's academic brilliance lit a fire in Kit, and the two developed an unlikely friendship — until Diane shared a secret that changed everything between them.
More than a decade later, Kit thinks she has put Diane behind her forever and has begun to fulfill the scientific dreams Diane awakened in her. Then the past comes roaring back: Diane is her competition for a position both women covet on groundbreaking new research led by their idol.
The two former friends find themselves locked in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that threatens to destroy them both.
