The first Lazarus episode, titled ‘Goodbye Cruel World,’ began with Axel Gilberto being approached in prison by a woman named Hersch. She informs him that Dr. Skinner has reappeared after three years, revealing that his miracle drug, Hapuna, will kill users exactly three years after their first dose – starting in 30 days.

Axel refuses to cooperate and escapes during the global chaos. He is later captured by a team using an electroshock device. Upon awakening in an abandoned barbershop, Hersch contacts him remotely and informs him he’s now part of her Lazarus team.

Lazarus Episode 2 will follow Axel as he begins working with Lazarus, a team created to locate Dr. Skinner. Hacker Elena uncovers that Skinner had previously purchased a nuclear shelter. The group splits into two units to investigate the shelter and its sales company.

However, they are interrupted by mysterious, unidentified men of unknown nationality who suddenly appear. As confusion erupts and tensions escalate, the Lazarus team will be forced to confront these attackers while continuing their urgent search for Skinner.
