Dean Chesney is the CEO of an unnamed defense contractor and a wealthy millionaire who at some point began suffering from an unknown heart condition which in turn has left him at death's door and so physically weak that he has been confined to a hospital bed in his own home. Taking matters into his own hands, Chesney had one of his men kidnap Tonya, the young daughter of a local nurse, Linda Johnson who was in possession of a human heart intended for a fifteen year old boy named Joshua Spin in exchange for gaining possession of the heart.
