Humanity has become a world where people live their lives through perfect human bodies called Surrogates.   People can control their surrogates without living home and be free of disease and imperfection.  Two percent of the human population doesn’t use Surrogates.   Greer is an FBI agent who is called to investigate the death of two surrogates and their users.  Someone is using a weapon to fry both the surrogate and the human brain.  Greer knows the stakes are high when one of the dead is the son of the inventor of Surrogates, Canter, and that the weapon ends up in the hands of the Dreads (the humans who shun Surrogates).
