Based on Richard Morgan's sci-fier Novel "Altered Carbon", adapted by Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Skydance Television, the passion project is set in the 25th century and explores what happens when the human mind becomes digitized and the soul is transferable from one body to another. It centers on Takeshi Kovacs, an ex-elite interstellar warrior known named Envoy who has been imprisoned for 500 years and when he is downloaded into a future he had tried to stop. If Envoy (Joel Kinnaman) can solve a single murder in a world where technology has made death nearly obsolete, he will get a chance at a new life on Earth.
