""Chev Chelios survives a fall from the sky sort of. He`s in an unknown location sedated while various Chinese are harvesting his organs. His heart is gone in an ice chest; a temporary in its place. Chev escapes knowing only the name of the guy with the ice chest. He calls Doc Miles an unlicensed cardiologist who tells him there`s only an hour`s life in the artificial heart: keep it charged. Chev needs to find his own heart and get to Doc for a transplant. He starts his time-limited pursuit of shadowy figures the ice chest and his heart aided by Eve Rei and Venus - a stripper a prostitute and a pal with Tourette`s - constantly needing an electric charge to keep going.""
