The monomaniacal Rand brothers-Magnus, a cunning doctor, and Hamilton, a genius chemist-are utterly ruthless in their pursuit of a cure for the fatal “white-blood disease (leukemia).

In London’s Royal Naval Hospital annex, Hester is tending one of the brothers’ dying patients-wealthy Bryson Radnor-when she stumbles upon three weak, terrified young children, and learns to her horror that they’ve been secretly purchased and imprisoned by the Rands for experimental purposes.
