But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, enters the hospital for routine surgery, her neatly ordered life is thrown into total chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness after the procedure, and an MRI confirms brain death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDevastated by Carl's condition, Lynn searches for answers.
