Daniel, a settled-down professor, is charged by the eerie Mr. Takahashi to track down his brother, Michael, a precocious commercial director, or else Takahashi will have Daniel's son, Sean, killed. Also approached by Takahashi, Michael is ordered to track Daniel down, under threat of death. The two also find out they are dead and that they have been resurrected into an incomplete virtual version of their former world--a place without suffering, hunger, or death--created by aliens.
