From a Sony Pictures press release:

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment proudly releases the mind-bending psychological thriller The Lazarus Project on DVD. 

In this chilling thriller, a man facing the death sentence inexplicably wakes up with a second chance at life, but soon realizes he may be part of something far more sinister.

The film also stars Malcolm Goodwin (American Gangster), Tony Curran (Underworld: Evolution), Bob Gunton (Fracture), Piper Perabo (Because I Said So) and Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog).
 
The Lazarus Project Synopsis:

With parole almost behind him, Ben (Paul Walker) can’t believe how much he has to be thankful for: a beautiful wife, an adorable little girl and a steady paycheck. Life is good. But when he unexpectedly loses his job, Ben foolishly turns back to crime, joining his ex-con brother (Shawn Hatosy) in a robbery with deadly consequences.

Suddenly facing a lethal injection, Ben must say goodbye to his family and prepare himself for the worst. But his death sentence isn’t quite what it seems, as Ben regains consciousness near an eerie psychiatric ward, where he’s told he’s been hired as the groundskeeper.

With the state of his soul in question, and the love for his wife and daughter all the more real and powerful, Ben must figure out if he’s truly cheated death, or if he’s become part of something far more sinister.
 
The Lazarus Project is rated PG-13 for some violence, disturbing images and thematic material.
