In this project, backup copies of people are created and used to replace the organs of the original people at some point in their lives.

When Lincoln discovers this fact, he manages to escape with a group of friends. While on the run, she meets Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), and the two embark on a journey to explore the real world. Meanwhile, the leader of the organization, Merrick (Sean Bean), is following them.
