In Lazarus, the year is 2048, when Dr. Deniz Skinner — hailed as a scientific genius second only to Einstein — unveils Hapna, a revolutionary painkiller that is cheap, fast-acting, and apparently free of side effects. The drug spreads across the world, and Skinner disappears one year after its debut, leaving behind what looks like a medical miracle.
Three years later, that comfort turns into panic. In 2052, Skinner returns with a horrifying claim: Hapna was engineered to mutate into a lethal toxin that will kill everyone who has ever taken it. He says he possesses the cure, but will only release it if he is physically found within 30 days, turning the world into a race against time with humanity’s future hanging in the balance.
Axel Gilberto, a maverick young man serving an 888-year sentence in a high-security prison, is unwillingly recruited by a group calling themselves Lazarus. Made up of eccentric misfits, the team has a single mission: find Skinner before the countdown reaches its end. With no easy way out and their lives on the line, Lazarus launches a desperate hunt that could decide whether the world survives.
