In the film, “Bill Chrushank (Jeff Fahey) is a criminal psychologist who loses his arm and nearly his life in a grisly car accident. A daring medical operation follows, in which a donor’s arm is successfully grafted onto Bill’s body. But after the operation, the arm starts to take on a violent life of its own, striking out against Bill’s wife and children.
“Consumed by fears about his dangerous behavior, Bill is driven to learn the donor’s identity—and makes a horrifying discovery that delivers him into a world of unimaginable terror.”
