Description
Invited to witness a lifesaving heart transplant operation, journalist Edwin Benn is thrilled to be in on the action.
But when it comes to interviewing the fortunate recipient, Edwin finds himself questioning whether the man was worth saving. A white supremacist neo-Nazi with a track record of hate crimes, James Fisher is anything but pleasant to be around, and is furious when he discovers the identity of his heart donor, going to absurd lengths to ‘make it his own’ by having a swastika tattooed on his chest.
Appalled by the man’s behaviour, Edwin struggles to write his article without mentioning that racist Fisher did not deserve his donor heart.
But as Edwin continues to follow Fisher’s recovery, he discovers that the man he first interviewed has changed dramatically, and as he continues to report on the story, he becomes increasingly involved in helping him reconnect with his long-forgotten past.
