What Is Heart of a Stranger About?

The premise of Heart of a Stranger without spoilers.

After receiving a donor heart, concert violinist Jill Maddox finds herself adopting the young man's habits—chugging beer, blasting contemporary music, and favoring skimpy miniskirts. The transplant also brings his memories and personality quirks, leaving the middle‑aged artist acting like the 22‑year‑old donor. Based on a true story.
