When a powerful state senator becomes the first human to receive a brain transplant, the operating room becomes a battleground where wives wrestle with losing their husbands, corrupt contractors scheme to protect their secrets, and multiple conspirators work to ensure the surgery fails. As the anesthesia takes hold, the senator has no idea that more people want him dead on the table than alive with a new body. Hear the story in “Identity Crisis!” | #RetroRadio EP0522
