Spoilers ahead
In 2009, a select group has discovered a means to elude death by employing “bonejackers”—expert mercenaries with cutting-edge time travel technology. These mercenaries intercept individuals teetering on the edge of death in the past, allowing the affluent to utilize these “harvested” bodies as substitutes, thus maintaining their youthful facade. Unfortunately, those who manage to survive this grotesque practice are deemed “freejacks,” a term that marks them as subhuman by law. The result is a dystopian reality where rampant substance abuse and environmental decay have left the populace in dire physical condition, rendering them less desirable for replacement.
