Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the distant future, the gap between rich and poor has become immeasurable. Wealthy enclosures like Parkland, home of medical pioneer Dr. Roland Parker, are home to few. With medical technology, Parkland's rich are able to buy their immortality through organs from the poor. When Detective Quinn is assigned to capture an escaped donor from his slum, he unknowingly becomes a donor for Parker. As his days alive diminish, Quinn races to expose a conspiracy fueled by the murder of innocent people.
