Zane Manson was exactly the type of man whom the world thought would cure death. The only son of two MIT scientists, Zane’s education had been in the lab, not in a classroom. His whole life was one scientific innovation after the next. Billionaires begged to invest in his projects. Senators bragged about their friendship with him. When people weren't admiring his scientific work, they were speculating about who was on the guest list of his massive parties. So when he announced that he’d discovered a cure for death and was offering the treatment for a hundred billion dollars a dose, the world's wealthiest lined up to pay the fee. And why wouldn’t they? Zane had been the first person to take the treatment. A man so accomplished surely wouldn’t poison himself. Then, during a live television interview, reporter Josephine Angeles exposed Zane’s treatment as just as likely to cause death as cure it. The eventual deaths of the recipients confirmed her accusations, and Zane went from being revered to reviled. He disappeared back to his laboratory working feverishly to fix the treatment he’d created before it was too late. Three years after the original interview, Zane calls Josephine to his mansion. He should be dead, but he’s not only alive, he looks younger. He swears to have fixed the treatment, and he asks Josephine to investigate his claim. If she finds out he’s telling the truth, he wants her to be the first person to take the new treatment. He says that his fall from grace taught him that life is priceless, so instead of charging a hundred billion dollars, he’s going to give it away to anyone who wants it for free. Josephine’s investigation leads her to dig deep into Zane’s history. She finds a man who isn’t quite what he seems and a society too eager to believe the outlandish claims of the most admired, but a cure for death might be Zane’s one honest statement in a lifetime of self-aggrandizing lies. Josephine will have to decide if she wants to write the story or if she wants to be a part of it.
