Set 30 years in the future, Lazarus is a sci-fi thriller that centres on a miracle drug named Hapna. Invented by a mysterious scientist called Dr Skinner, this drug seemingly cures all ailments.
But after three years on the market, Dr Skinner announces that Hapna features a deadly mutation, and will soon kill everyone who took it.
Effectively holding the world to ransom, this mad scientist has created a ticking-clock emergency, and the show's heroes must scramble to find Skinner and develop a vaccine for Hapna's effects.
