OverviewOne shocking day, Uri, a young, fit man, is diagnosed with a severe form of leukemia. In that instant, his life as he has always known it is turned upside down. The pain, hardship and fear take control of his very being. Ofra, his girlfriend, joins him in the battle to save his life, which is now devoted to medical treatments and raising money to find a suitable bone marrow donor. At the hospital, Uri slowly realizes that the department manager is an insane doctor who wants him to sacrifice his body to science. In a state of remission, Uri flees to New York to undergo bone marrow extraction for future transplants if a donor is not found. However, a donor is found, yet the mad doctor needs the precious bone marrow to save the life of a person he deems more worthy than Uri, a patient with 'blue blood'. Miri, a friend of the couple, whose relationship with the mad doctor is kept secret, travels to New York - perhaps at the doctor's request - and dies there in suspicious circumstances. A few days before the transplant, Uri discovers that the bone marrow he traveled to New York to obtain has been sabotaged and is now useless. Who sabotaged the bone marrow? Was Miri murdered or was her death an accident? Will the mad doctor succeed in his plot? And most important of all - can Uri be saved?
