The body of sixty-eight year old New York City based cutthroat real estate development mogul Damian Hale is being ravaged by cancer, he not having much longer to live. The one person he wants to reconnect with before he dies is his estranged daughter, Claire Hale, who refuses to speak to him. Through anonymous means, Damian learns of the secret Phoenix Corporation based in New Orleans and run by Dr. Albright, who, for a $250 million fee, performs a revolutionary procedure called shedding: Damian's still functioning brain with all its knowledge and memories will be transferred into a laboratory created healthy body. The procedure would entail that Damian give up his life as he knows it, but with what money he is able to stash away, to start life anew in a newly created identity, in his case thirty-five year old Phoenix born Edward Kidner. Part of the recovery is to take medication contained in a red capsule on a daily basis. In missing one dose, "Edward", during his recovery away from the secret and hidden facility, begins to see visions of people and places he doesn't know, but knows something about, and inherently knows exist in real life. In tracking down the people and places in his vision hopefully without Albright or his subordinates knowing, Edward begins to believe that his life under Albright's world will never be his own. In the process, he has to figure out exactly what those red capsules he takes every day actually do, which again he surmises is not exactly what Albright tells him, and how to regain a life he can call his own while also protecting/saving those Albright sees as acceptable collateral damage in unknowingly getting Damian to this point as Edward.
