Descriere
Tom
Nolan
has
just
learned
he
is
going
to
die.
The
young
father
is
terminally
ill
and
coming
to
grips
with
his
fate.
One
day
a
friend
from
Tom’s
past
comes
forward
to
recruit
him
for
a
privately
funded,
covert
experiment.
The
goal
of
the
experiment
is
to
achieve
immortality
through
the
transfer
of
a
living
human’s
mind
and
memory
to
a
highly
realistic
human
android
replica.
In
the
early
stages
of
the
testing,
he
is
told
not
to
discuss
it
with
anyone,
including
his
wife
and
daughter.Tom’s
physical
appearance
is
immaculately
duplicated
as
a
technically
sophisticated
robot.
To
initially
test
this
prototype,
the
scientists
transfer
the
mind
and
memory
of
another
man’s
brain.
Since
the
digitization
of
the
consciousness
is
an
invasive
process
that
kills
the
original
source,
the
scientists
first
test
the
procedure
on
a
more
“expendable”
subject
–
a
convict
without
any
family
who
is
dying
in
prison
and
volunteers
for
a
“cancer
treatment.”
If
this
initial
test
is
successful,
they
intend
to
wipe
the
replica’s
memory
clean
and
permanently
replace
it
with
Tom’s
mind
and
memory.While
the
test
is
successful,
this
alternate
version
of
Tom
escapes
–
killing
a
scientist
and
embarking
on
the
ultimate
form
of
identity
theft.
Impersonating
Tom,
the
evil
twin
infiltrates
his
home,
endangers
his
family
and
commits
violent
crimes
in
Tom’s
persona,
forcing
the
real
Tom
to
go
on
the
run.When
Russian
spies
discover
the
technological
breakthrough
to
turn
man
into
machine,
they
seek
to
steal
the
secrets
for
their
own
nefarious
purposes.
The
stakes
are
raised
and
reach
the
highest
levels
of
government.
The
President
of
the
United
States
starts
acting
peculiar
and
Tom
suspects
he
has
become
the
victim
of
a
devious
swap
by
the
Russians
that
could
change
the
course
of
the
world.
It’s
up
to
Tom
to
save
the
day…before
the
ticking
clock
of
his
own
mortality
runs
out.FLAME
