During a federal investigation into a local homicide, FBI Special Agent Terry McCaleb goes outside to address the media, but spots the so-called “code murderer” in the crowd. The chase ends after McCaleb suffers a heart attack, but wounds the suspect.

Retired, he lives in a houseboat on the Long Beach bay, but has a second chance at life by receiving the heart of a murder victim. He is approached by Graciella Rivers; her sister, Gloria, was murdered during a robbery; she asks him to solve the case.

McCaleb realizes the victim donated the heart transplanted into him. He has nightmares of the robbery during Gloria’s murder. Assembling the events, he learns the murderer called for help before murdering her.
