Dr. Joshua Crandall is in moral crisis. His wife Theo has been an
invalid for years, the victim of kidney failure, and although he's
resisting every step of the way out of respect for his religious
beliefs, he's strangely attracted to a colleague, the mysterious
Kristen. He is haunted by wanting to end Theo's suffering; it would
be so easy for him, as a doctor, and after all, it is being done
all the time in this morally confused world. But deep down he's
troubled that he's deceiving himself into believing that his true
motive could conceivably be characterized as altruism. Adding to
his moral crisis is his long campaign to end the heinous practice
of illegal organ harvesting. His outrage intensifies when he learns
through his sister Jessica, a spunky FBI agent spearheading the
re-opening of cold cases surrounding organ theft, that Theo herself
as a young adult was the victim of such a crime. He further
discovers that his putative mistress Kristen is the recipient of a
stolen kidney. The thought creeps into his mind that this simply
cannot be a coincidence, and although he dismisses it as
preposterous, the idea keeps returning, seemingly of its own
volition. Can it be that Theo and Kristen are somehow linked?
Kristen begins to exhibit some very unusual behavior. Just who or
what is she? To satisfy his outrage over the corruption in the
organ transplant business, Josh has made himself into an avenging
angel on a mission of justice. But as Josh's conviction grows that
Kristen is indeed more than she seems, his crusade transforms from
satisfying his sinful obsession with revenge, into a quest for
renewal and awakening. The story wraps most excitingly and
satisfactorily, with the evildoers appropriately identified and
punished, Josh dodging his temptations and accepting the second
chance in life arranged for him by higher powers, and Kristen
revealing her true nature.
