Lazarus is set in the year 2052, an era dubbed as a utopia, a time of peace and prosperity. Peace was achieved thanks to the discovery of a magical drug called "Hapna" by Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist, Dr. Skinner. This drug is claimed to eliminate any pain without side effects.

However, that peace began to crumble three years later when Dr. Skinner suddenly reappeared before the public with a shocking announcement stating that Hapna is a deadly poison. It turns out the drug has a shelf life of three years, and everyone who consumes it will die within 30 days of the announcement.

In the face of this disaster, a special team consisting of five elite agents from around the world was formed. This special team is codenamed "Lazarus", with one mission: to track down Dr. Skinner and find the antidote to the poison before time runs out.
