When a vital organ broker meets a karmically-challenged universal donor, the pair scheme to ethically distribute organs to those in need and escape the maw of a ruthless HR department.
When Graham, a broker who buys vital organs on behalf of a shady company, discovers that his purchases land on the plate of a cannibal, his crisis of conscience drives him to befriend Riley, a deeply suicidal universal donor. Riley has a karmic system, one that tallies his good and bad deeds and weighs them against each other. Graham adopts Riley’s system, granting him hope for redemption. Against the Company’s wishes, Graham and Riley scheme to distribute Riley's organs to the terminally ill...only for Riley to regain the will to live at the last minute. Abandoned and alone, Graham is forced to renege on his commitments to the donors he promised a second chance at life. After a round of waterboarding by a sadistic HR manager Tracy, Graham’s guilty conscience drives him to acts far worse than what he originally sought to find absolution for.
