A photographer learns a borrowed CIA camera may be capturing more than peoples' photographs - it is stealing their souls, as some religions believe. So when his best friend dies in a surfing accident, he vows to use the images to bring him back to life. But when the agency learns of his discovery, so does a powerful extremist cell. And they will do anything to obtain the technology. Thrust into a world of quantum physics, spies, and extremists, the odds are stacked against the photographer as he tries to save his friend in time.
