In Altered Carbon's dystopian world, human personalities can be stored digitally and downloaded into new bodies, called sleeves. Only the wealthy people are able to get replacement bodies on a continual basis.

'Here's the official description of the series that was released:

When human consciousness can be stored on digital implants (called "stacks") which allow the mega-rich to continually upgrade their bodies (dubbed "sleeves") and essentially live forever. The story follows an elite soldier named Takeshi Kovacs. This is him below during a flashback scene (where he's initially played by Will Yun Lee) along with his sister Reileen Kawahara (Dichen Lachman). They were killers for hire who became revolutionaries.

Kovacs is imprisoned, his conscious stored away, and then awoken centuries later in a different body. He's now played by Joel Kinnaman (

The Killing

). Kovacs' freedom was arranged by a wealthy mogul, Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), who offers Kovacs a pardon for his crimes if he can solve a "murder" — Bancroft's own, as somebody killed his previous sleeve.

Kovacs was trained by Quell (

star Renee Elise Goldsberry), the leader of the Envoys — elite interstellar warriors, trained in the ways of intuition, combat, and survival The release of Kovacs catches the interest of Kristin Ortega (Martha Higareda), a detective with a complicated past.
