Now and Again

When Michael Wiseman is killed in a tragic subway accident, the U.S. government covertly makes him an offer he can't refuse; they "keep his brain alive" and place it into a new, genetically bio-engineered body. The doctor in charge of the experiment has grand plans for him, but all he wants is to get back to his grieving wife and daughter. For security reasons, the government forbids such contact...not that he is going to let that stop him.

But in a twist of fate, a secret branch of the U.S. government rescues his brain and offers him a new life, in a new body.
