Dr. Tori Taylor is a brilliant oncology surgeon but she is also arrogant and unfeeling toward those around her. Then her own heart fails and she needs a transplant. When she awakens after her transplant surgery, she experiences strange dreams, which quickly turn into harrowing nightmares. She comes to believe she is having the nightmares because she is feeling what her donor felt. She is troubled so much that she seeks help in understanding what is happening to her.
From then on, Tori is on a roller coaster ride of intrigue. Whose heart does she have and what in the world happened to this person? Who wanted her dead?
