The work of Dr Rodney Barnes, internationally respected heart transplant surgeon, is hampered by a shortage of suitable donors but he faces the worst dilemma of his life when his lover is critically injured in an accident and, being declared brain dead, then becomes a potential donor. Barnes calls on the full resources of the hospital's research team in order to keep her alive. The plan put forward by the director of the research department, Dr Louis Kapisnky, a brilliant geneticist with a somewhat shadowy background, stuns the Ethics Committee but Barnes persuades them to accept it. What happens next could make history. Or unleash a horror that the outside world has still not seen.
