With ailing health, Stella waits for a new heart. Fortunately, she is next on the ‘Waiting List.’ But things don’t always go as planned. Could somebody with great wealth and power buy their place ahead of her, causing Stella’s death? Stella’s daughter, Ellen Jennings, unable to accomplish retribution through the court system, seeks revenge. Her sorrow and bitterness grow into hostility. Using her medical background, she creates her own remedial yet profitable institution, an underground ritual that will allow her to retaliate against the society that disrespected her mother to death. Assisted by a small group of underhanded partners, including two greedy and disreputable surgeons, ‘The Oasis’ is born, a modified farm house constructed far away from society and along the marshy swamplands. Eight months later, fifteen kidnappings have occurred in the New Orleans area and there is no evidence to be found. Detectives Adam Beckett and Nicole Garcia keep their noses to the grindstone and attempt to unearth the motive behind these abductions, but all efforts only lead to frustration. Ultimately, an innocent, but crafty young lady named Abby Collins is kidnapped for her body parts and unborn child. Can her actions be the demise of ‘The Oasis’ and the redemption of the unfortunate victims before her?
