São Paulo, 2040. A murdered federal agent returns to life in his brother’s body thanks to a brain transplant. As he seeks revenge on those who betrayed him, he must convince the woman he loves that he is still himself. From bestselling author Chaiene Santos, one of the most widely read voices in contemporary thriller fiction in Brazil.
In the São Paulo of 2040, Samuel, a federal agent marked by his rejection of fatherhood, is killed in a deadly ambush by the clandestine organ trafficking network he was investigating. But fate has a second chance in store for him.
When his younger brother Lucas, a brilliant lawyer, suffers a devastating accident, he unknowingly becomes the recipient of Samuel’s brain, sold by the criminal organization that murdered him. During the transplant, Lucas goes into cardiac arrest… and the one who awakens is Samuel, with a new identity, a new body, and a single purpose: revenge and the recovery of the love of his life, Bruna.
But Bruna does not recognize him —she only sees Lucas. How could she believe that the man she loved now inhabits his brother’s body? Meanwhile, his allies—Raquel, his sister and a cutting-edge engineer; Paulo, her partner; and Bruna herself—fall into the hands of the feared Organ Mafia, led by the sinister Doctor Alma, obsessed with possessing Bruna’s heart… literally.
With the help of the android Silver Head, who houses the brain of his friend Fernando—Samuel’s partner who died in the same ambush—Samuel launches a merciless war against his enemies, confronting Doctor Alma and the ruthless cyborg Cabeça in an epic struggle for justice, redemption, and love. Along the way, he discovers that Fernando had a daughter, Camila, now orphaned, and vows to protect her as his own.
In the end, Samuel annihilates his enemies and brings down the mafia. But he does not only defeat evil… he also learns that, even though he never wanted to be a father, love can reprogram even the most resistant soul: Bruna is pregnant.
