When a geneticist who may have discovered a cure for the ageing process coughs to death, Kerns has to work out who has decided to kill off all the patients who abuse their bodies by smoking and drinking and thus waste hospital time. Is this sinister, arrogant raving beardie Robert Englund? Or is it calm, handsome, sincere Gregory Harrison? No surprises.
