Six months later, he shocking reappears and is reunited with his wife, Elizabeth. But something has changed.

- Law will play Elizabeth Lavenza, a pathologist and medical examiner who is stunned when her husband returns from the dead. Though she's thrilled to have him back, she knows there's a secret behind his disappearance, his reappearance and his new personality - and she thinks she knows exactly who's responsible.
- Staton will play Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant, slightly odd and driven - perhaps obsessed - scientist who is working on a secret, cutting-edge project. On the run from an ethics board in China, he is back in the U.S. where he works in a lab and is very involved in whatever it is that's going with Escher. He is also Elizabeth's ex.
