Susan wakes up in a hospital bed, her body unfamiliar. Disoriented, she learns she's been in a coma for months, and her mind has been transplanted into the body of another woman. As she struggles to piece together her past life, Susan faces a daunting reality: her old body is gone, her family and friends no longer recognize her, and she must rebuild her identity from scratch.
