The Brendon James Life Foundation is Australia’s premier cryonic company, with its patient-storage facility situated in outback NSW.

To boost sales, and increase its public awareness, it announces a nationwide competition, with the winner to receive a free [[Cryopreservation|cryonic suspension]]. A controversial condition of entry stipulates that all applicants have a terminal illness, with only a further six months’ life expectancy.

Geoffrey Blakely, a retired Newcastle Council worker, is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His family is aghast at his decision to enter the competition, desirous of a traditional family funeral. A determined father and husband soon realises that winning the competition is only half the battle in his quest for frozen immortality.<ref name="Amazon" />
