Die 16-jährige Callie lebt in einer Welt, in der eine unheimliche Katastrophe zahlreiche Erwachsenenleben vernichtet hat. Und in der die jungen Menschen einer scheinbar ausweglosen Armut verfallen. Die einzige Möglichkeit für die jugendlichen Starters an Geld zu kommen, ist ein mysteriöses Institut, in dem sie gegen Geld ihre Körper verleihen können. Das Bewusstsein des alten Menschen übernimmt den jungen Körper für eine Zeit, um wieder jung zu sein. Doch bei Callie geht es schief: Sie erwacht, bevor sie erwachen darf – in einem Leben, das ihr völlig unbekannt ist. Anstelle ihrer reichen Mieterin bewohnt sie eine teure Villa, verfügt über Luxus im Überfluss und verliebt sich in den jungen Blake. Bald aber findet sie heraus, dass ihr Körper zu einem geheimen Zweck gemietet wurde – um einen furchtbaren Plan zu verwirklichen, den Callie um jeden Preis verhindern muss ...
