Even as House becomes more and more sure that he has identified the correct diagnosis, the other doctors refuse to take the risk and begin treatment. It quickly becomes clear that the stakes are high and that the wrong decision could cost the young woman her life.
In the end, it comes down to a race against time as the doctors scramble to find a cure before it's too late.
