SYNOPSIS:
In the near future, scientists have discovered a way to transfer the consciousness of a human to a neurological cyborg, {neuborg}, in effect granting true immortality. At first only the rich and powerful are able to partake of this new technology. After outliving many generations of friends and loved ones, the first recipients discover this is a curse, not a blessing. New laws are passed making it harder, but not impossible to become immortal. Humanity has finally solved the prisons overcrowding problems on death row. The solution is to place the criminal’s mind into a neuborg, take away all ability to commit any crimes, increase the remorse emotion. And last, but not least, develop a backdoor switch to deactivate any rogue neuborgs. The death row inmates can now safely be set free to live forever, day to day with the memories, and remorse of what they did. Not even the comfort of being able to commit suicide is left for them as an option. But, what if one man was falsely accused of a crime so heinous as to be committed to a ‘Life Sentence’, the murder of his fiancee Linda. He spends the whole of his existence trying to prove that the real perpetrator of the crime was the Rogue, a lifer who swore vengeance on the family of the man who had him convicted to a Life Sentence. He eventually does, two hundred years later, with the help of a woman District Attorney, Sadie Owens, and her office's Private Investigator, Grant Williams. Grant Williams finds it hard to believe that the Rogue is able to commit crimes. Grant finds it harder to believe the Rogue is responsible for two hundred years of unsolved crimes, and he further believes that Jaime is really guilty of the murder that the Rogue committed. Two hundred years of further unsolved crimes, the real criminal has over-ridden all safety devices implanted and can now commit crimes at will. The only problem is, he has had two hundred years to perfect his talents, and humanity has become too complacent, they have accepted the ‘lifers’ as foolproof. No case has ever been found to prove otherwise. It becomes one lifer’s sole responsibility to prove his innocence, and bring this other lifer’s crimes to the attention of the world. Jaime and Sadie are starting to have feelings for each other, the Rogue sees this and decides to play upon those feelings by kidnapping Sadie. Jaime and Grant must begrudgingly accept each others help to save her. Through this final part Jaime and Grant become friends. After everything is over, and the Rogue is deactivated, it is Jaime’s wish to finally deactivate himself. He has had two hundred years to explore his mind, and find the implanted backdoor himself… and finally be free. Before he can deactivate, the DA's Private Investigator interrupts to inform him that the ‘Rogue’ was able to ‘modify’ numerous lifers to assist with his crimes. Since Jaime was the only known false lifer and had successfully learned the internal workings of a lifer's mind, the police needed his help. With his mental finger on the switch, does Jaime decide to survive and help those who wrongly accused him, or does he lay down the fight for others?
