In 2048, Dr. Deniz Skinner, a scientific genius ranked second only to Einstein, created the revolutionary painkiller Hapna. Because it was inexpensive and had no reported side effects, the drug achieved widespread acceptance, even though Skinner himself silently disappeared one year after its launch. Everyone reveled in the relief and ecstasy provided by Hapna, but they would suddenly come crashing down to Earth. It is now 2052, and Skinner reappears, making the shocking announcement that Hapna was designed to mutate into a lethal toxin, killing anyone who had consumed it. While he claims to possess a cure, he will only hand it over if he is physically found within 30 days. Axel Gilberto, a maverick youngster serving an 888-year sentence in a high-security prison, is unwillingly recruited by a group calling themselves Lazarus. Composed of eccentric misfits, the group has only one task—to find Skinner. With no means to escape and their lives on the line, Lazarus begins the hunt to find Skinner before the countdown to the end of humanity ends.
