By the time he was 77 years old, David Adelman knew that his body was failing.When he read about a seminar that would explore the medical possibilities for getting a fresh chance at being young, David's curiosity was more than just academic.

Despite his skepticism, he buys a $25,000 membership in the Human Transmigration Project; and ten years later, barely clinging to life, he learns that he holds the winning ticket in mankind's greatest lottery. And this isn't a simple game of chance. It is cutting-edge medical technology, and David becomes the subject of history's first human transmigration.

But his new life holds a shocking surprise that forces him to question some of his life-long beliefs about human nature. Even as he makes the unexpectedly difficult transition into his new life, he finds himself at the center of a mystery that escalates into a desperate fight for the life of a girl he knows only through a strangely vivid recurring dream.

And when questionable accidents start taking lives in the small college town of Arcata, evidence stacks up against one young man whose motives are as sinister as his actions are devious, leading to a deadly showdown.
