"Lieberman and Lorimer delve into the dark trade with the story of a drug-addicted ex-surgeon with a bent take on how to right past wrongs. Framed for murder by Jason Craven, his former boss in the harvesting trade, Dr. Ben decides to exact revenge by making house calls on his former 'patients' to take back the organs -- and the years of life -- their money bought them.
