The story

In 2009, the super-wealthy achieve immortality by hiring "bonejackers", mercenaries equipped with time travel devices, to snatch people from the past, just prior to the moment of their deaths, for use as substitute bodies. Those who escape are known as "freejacks.” In this dystopian future, most people suffer from poor health as a result of drug use and environmental pollution, making them unattractive as replacement bodies. Alex Furlong is a Formula One racer who is about to die in a 1991 crash when a time machine snatches him into 21st century New York City, now a futuristic dystopia populated by scavengers and killers.
