Plot
Prague in the year 2041. People have a constitutional right to a one whole life. When someone dies an unnatural death, Restore Point's innovative technology will resuscitate them, provided the person has routinely backed up their brain data every 48 hours. The facility is operated by the Institute of Restoration. Young detective Emma Trochinowska, aka Em, an aspiring police luminary, is on the trail of a group called the "River of Life" who are rebelling against "unnatural" resurrection technology by disrupting civilian life through terrorist attacks.
When the scientist who developed recovery technology, David Kurlstat, and his wife are murdered, Em is puzzled that he of all people didn't have a valid recovery point with which to revive him.
