Tom is a brain dead boy. His young mother, Rose, is beset with grief knowing that she has lost the son she dotes on. However, she is given hope when a brilliant neurologist tells her he can restore her son's brain to something close to normality. The unsuspecting mother gives her permission for him to operate on her son. little does she know that he is actually experimenting on brain transplants in order to, eventually, place the brain of a very rich paedophile into the young, healthy body of an orphan boy. The surgeon needs the woman's son to further his experiments, planning to attempt to transplant the brain of a 40 year old heart attack victim into the child as a test case.When the experiment on Rose's son turns out to be a complete success, even the surgeon is surprised. However, the problems for the man inside the child are just beginning. Apart from having to cope with the child's tactile and over affectionate mother, who in actual fact is younger than he is. He must also battle against the feelings he develops for her which are a little more than the love of a son for his mother. commendably, he manages to hide his true feelings despite some hilarious positions he finds himself in.This is not predominantly a love story however. It is the story of a boy's quest to stop a billionaire paedophile from murdering East European orphan boys for his own evil ends.The man/child, his beautiful mother, her dysfunctional sister, the boy's nurse and the strange girl from next door, join forces to take a journey of attrition in order to foil the plans of an evil industrialist who plans to have his own brilliant brain transplanted into the head of a healthy young orphan boy. Along the way they come across some unlikely and strange characters as well as discovering their own true identities. A sometimes, sad, often hilarious story with some, hopefully unexpected, twists, of love, adventure and ultimate tragedy
