Christmas in NYC 2001 and recovery from 911 seems to be mending, or is it? Peter Williams, esteemed concert violinist/conductor at Lincoln Center, is double-crossed by his second wife and murdered by her gangster boyfriend. His dead body is discovered by a scientist and re-energized into a computerized human cyborg, "An American Cyborg". Peter uses his new strength to capture his killers, then reunites with his first wife, his two children and a positive life of helping others with his new powers. R. Varley
