When his amputated leg is discovered in a grill sold at a North Carolina auction, John Wood finds himself at the center of a worldwide media frenzy. Seeing the new-found attention as an opportunity to rise above his otherwise disappointing, wayward life, he’s quickly swept up in the hysteria and becomes embroiled in a struggle over the leg with its enterprising buyer, Shannon Whisnant. The stranger-than-fiction chain of events that follows upends the lives of both men and reveals in surprising, and often beautiful ways, what it sometimes takes to rebuild a life. (USA 2015)
