What Remains

Why take death for an answer?

It's a question that haunts Anthony Rossi. Each day, he works removing organs and tissues from the newly dead for transplantation.

The problem? Almost nothing he does in his job is medically advisable or strictly legal, which is fine with his money-grubbing boss, who doesn't care if he's harming others by robbing the bodies of non-donors or passing on unusable tissue. Anthony's fed up, and dreams of a way out and a new life with the girl of his dreams.

When a co-worker suggests that transplanted body parts may have cell memory – the ability to convey memories and personality traits of the deceased donor to the living recipient – Anthony is skeptical, even after seeing signs of it in others for himself. That is, until his fiancée, who is suddenly killed in a freak hit and run, ends up on an autopsy table at his job. Anthony sets out to find a woman who receives organs from her, desperately hoping that he hasn't lost the love of his life forever.

But when things go horribly wrong one night, Anthony goes on the run. Along the way, he discovers that not only do human cells possess a power of communication that is stronger and darker than he ever imagined, but they're holding one hell of a grudge...
