Description
A young man's life is forever changed when his left hand is lost in a tragic accident while reporting from India. Witnessed by millions of TV viewers, this event sets off a chain reaction of unexpected events. A renowned hand surgeon sees an opportunity to perform the nation's first hand transplant, while a married woman in Wisconsin wants to give her one-handed husband's left hand to a young reporter who lost his own. But there is a complication - the husband is alive and relatively healthy. This complex and humorous tale explores the human desire for connection and the complexities of life after loss.
