In "null," Vitamin Flintheart, still reeling from a TV segment that downplays his near-immortality, seeks a more permanent solution—leading him to Dr. Freezdrei, a mysterious scientist who promises eternal life through cryonics. As Vitamin dives into the cold, untested science of suspended animation, the line between survival and oblivion begins to blur.
