β Synopsis β
The year is 2052 β an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity prevails across the globe. The reason for this: mankind has been freed from sickness and pain. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna. Hapuna soon becomes ubiquitousβ¦ and essential. However, soon after Hapuna is officially introduced, Dr. Skinner vanishes.
Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned β this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world β and coming soon.
As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinnerβs plan. This group is called βLazarus.β Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out?
