The narrative follows a driven professional woman living in California who is repeatedly struck down by mysterious bouts of illness. Despite numerous consultations, medical experts are unable to pinpoint any underlying cause. Even after she eventually passes away, the doctors remain without a satisfactory explanation for her deteriorating health. Throughout her decline, the lack of a clear diagnosis creates a persistent sense of uncertainty, with each new episode of sickness deepening the puzzle. The medical team’s investigations yield no answers, leaving both the protagonist’s family and the audience in the dark about what is afflicting her. The mystery is finally resolved when, after her death, the investigators uncover a crucial individual from her personal life. This key figure turns out to be the missing piece that clarifies the reasons behind her repeated illnesses, providing the closure that had eluded the doctors up to that point.
