Spoilers ahead
Dr. Rue Wakeman [Rutger Hauer] leads a secret project that brings a creature, Subject 3, to life by stitching together skin and organs from multiple men and women. This being has no real memories, yet it can speak and eventually identifies as male, choosing the name Lazarus for himself. The creature enters into a tense, uneasy collaboration with Nia Peeples as Dr. Elizabeth English, who becomes the main conduit for his questions and dreams. Lazarus’s unusual consciousness leads him to press for reading material, asking first for the Bible and Frankenstein; at first only the Bible is provided, and later a copy of Frankenstein arrives, bearing an inscription addressed to Nia Peeples from Ron Perlman, the project’s former head, Doctor Frederick Texarian.
