Synopsis:
While reporting from India, New York television journalist Patrick Wallingford becomes a sensation when a lion bites off his left hand on live TV. In Boston, a prominent hand surgeon, Dr. Nicholas M. Zajac, hopes to perform a groundbreaking hand transplant and seeks a suitable donor.
In Wisconsin, Doris Clausen offers the left hand of her husband Otto—after he dies. When Otto does die, Doris rushes the hand to Boston, but she demands unusual “visitation rights” to her late husband’s hand after the transplant. The surgery succeeds, tying Patrick and Doris together in an intimate, complicated relationship shaped by loss, desire, and second chances.
