In the near-future, Marc (Hughes) is diagnosed with cancer and has been given one year left to live. He decides to cryogenically preserve his body, leaving behind the love of his life Naomi (Chaplin) and taking some control over his own fate. In 2084, he becomes the first person to be resuscitated from cryopreservation by the Prodigy company’s ‘Lazarus Project’.
The future is not what he expected. People look younger and beautiful, and are no longer ‘slaves to love’ as his caring nurse (Le Bon) tells him. There’s even sex groups. However, Marc soon realises he’s traded everything for ‘an inadequate dream’. Despite the marvels of modern medicine, his body is still in pretty bad shape and he’s stuck inside the hospital, dependant on a machine to keep him alive and barely allowed outside apart from the occasional PR fundraiser, due to the fact his lungs might not handle the future’s atmosphere.
