Jack Cole is the successor to the lost "Ghost Thirteen Needles" acupuncture technique and a former special forces veteran. After his grandmother’s passing, he travels to Atlanta to fulfill her dying wish: to locate Victoria Stone—CEO of Stone Biotech—whose name appears on a military dog tag. Victoria has been suffering for eight years from a chronic, mysterious poisoning that has baffled top medical experts; Jack stabilizes her during an acute attack upon their first meeting and is subsequently hired as her private physician.
Victoria’s greedy uncle, Marcus, repeatedly poisons her in a bid to seize control of the company and conspires with Derek Crowe—of rival firm Crowe Pharmaceuticals—to frame Jack. However, Jack’s extraordinary medical skills earn the full endorsement of Dr. Parker, a leading authority in the field. After Marcus is arrested for attempted murder, the ruthless tycoon Victor Crowe launches an all-out offensive, cutting off supply chains, obstructing drug approvals, and even hiring assassins to kill Jack. Meanwhile, Tristan of Shaw Medical also secretly poisons Victoria.
Jack thwarts every plot; as his bond with Victoria deepens, he achieves the ultimate state of mastery in the "Ghost Thirteen Needles" technique and gains the strong backing of Dr. Harrison Wells, a New York pharmaceutical magnate. At the final product launch, Jack presents irrefutable evidence exposing the conspiracy by Victor Crowe and Raymond Shaw to spread rumors about counterfeit drugs. The villains are brought to justice, and Jack chooses to stay by Victoria’s side, where the two work together to manage their thriving biotech enterprise.
