Storyline
In the utopian year 2049, the world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has discovered a miracle analgesic drug known as "Hapna" that completely relieves the user of any pain, shortly before disappearing off the face of the Earth. Three years later in 2052, Skinner resurfaces to the public in an online video to announce that the drug has a three-year half-life and soon everyone who took it will die.
A task force of five agents, called "Lazarus", is assembled to locate Skinner within 30 days before the first wave of Hapna users die and create a vaccine.
