Thomas Blaine wakes up in a future New York after dying in a 1958 car crash, his mind transplanted into a new body by a corporation that has commercialized the afterlife. In this world where the wealthy can purchase immortality through body-swapping and the scientific proof of an afterlife has transformed society, Blaine must navigate corporate conspiracies and existential dangers.
