IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Taiwanese born concert pianist Pei-Fen Liu is dealing with the standard side effects of her recent heart transplant: hypertension, headaches, stomach pains, back pains, sensitivity to light, dizziness and insomnia. But what she wasnt expecting is an obsession with soccer, Mexican food, boleros and the thrill of Western wear.

When Pei-Fen begins to suffer terrifying nightmares of dragging a dead body through the forest, she begins to suspect that she was given more than just a heart. She was also given the memories of the donor.

As she obsessively tracks down the identity of the donor, she discovers a terrible secret: she was given the heart of a murderer. And so begins a journey into an America she did not know existed and yet is now part of who she is.

Blood and Honey is the love story between a transplanted heart seeking forgiveness and the woman left behind. Its a metaphysical murder thriller that explores the mind-blowing realm of transplanted memories.
