In this synthetic environment where the evaporation of physical pain and infectious diseases from the bulk of the human populace has enabled surgical procedures in regular settings whilst the people are conscious,performance artist Saul Tenser, afflicted with “accelerated evolution syndrome,” has his organs surgically removed in an avant-garde fashion by his partner Caprice. Their movements are tracked by Timlin, an investigator from the National Organ Registry. Things go haywire when a mysterious group, aiming to highlight the subsequent phase of human evolution through Tenser’s infamy, enters the picture.
