Summary

Moments after a devastating car accident kills his father, 17-year-old Hemingway Jones takes his father's body to Lifebank, the cryogenic preservation research center where he interns. Hijacking the lab in a desperate attempt to reverse the natural order, Hemingway holds police and medics at bay as he works to revive his father. As dawn breaks, the heart monitor beeps, and his father slowly creeps back to life. Days later, Hemingway arrives at the hospital to learn that his father's skin has turned ashen gray, he can't exist in temperatures above 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and hydrogen sulfide has become his only source of food. Facing arrest for his reckless actions, Hemingway is offered a proposal by the billionaire owner of the lab: recreate the experiment he swore he'd never do again, or go to prison, leaving his father to die a second time
