True Crime

Heart

Sonny and Terry shared the same heart. They died the same way. And there’s one other thing these two men shared: a wife. A heart transplant transforms Sonny Graham’s fate when he reaches out to the widow of his heart donor. What follows is trumpeted by local papers as a miraculous love story. But court filings expose a more troubled reality. Friends and family report a worrying change in Sonny. Then, he dies by suicide—the exact same fate, it turns out, as his heart donor, Terry Cottle. The families of the two men are suddenly bound together by disturbing questions. Others speculate that Sonny’s new heart might have been carrying Terry’s traumas. Are the two men’s deaths just a coincidence, or are there darker forces at work?
