In 1790, Alfred (our hero) travels across the wintry mountains of his home land Norway. His destination is a secluded house in the wilderness where a scientist lives. A scientist who gives Alfred the ability to live forever. 225 years later, Alfred lives a boring, nauseating life in England. Where he stamps papers for a living and repeat his clockwork routine every day without a glimmer of joy. But soon he faces a danger even worse than death of boredom: someone else knows of, and wishes to acquire, his ability. Alfred is forced to travel into his own bizarre subconscious, while an obsessed psychiatrist, with the help of Alfred’s own boss, tries to uncover the keys to his eternal life.
