In a future where death is a thing of the past, how far would you go to solve your own murder?Paul Donner is a NYPD detective with a drinking problem and a marriage on the rocks.  Then he and his wife get dead--shot to death in a "random" crime.  Fifty years later, Donner is back--revived courtesy of the Shift, a process whereby inanimate DNA is re-activated.  This new "reborn" underclass is not only alive again, they're growing younger, destined for a second childhood. The freakish side-effect of a retroviral attack on New York, the Shift has turned the world upside down.  Beneath the protective geodesic Blister, clocks run backwards, technology is hidden behind a noir facade, and you can see Elvis every night at Radio City Music Hall.
