Abe, a Re-gen, uncovers a diabolical plan made by the powerful Pro-gens which threatens the future of humanity. Will he make it out alive to be with the love of his life, Ophelia, in Devon?Welcome to the future of humanity. In 2033, the world is divided into a genetically-enhanced elite group of humans called Pro-gens and the other 99% - the Re-gens. Meet Abe, a Re-gen, who is working his last week cleaning Battersea Power Station before he plans to escape his life of economic slavery and social exclusion in London to be with the love of this life, Ophelia, in Devon - and live a life of subsistence and relative freedom. Whilst at work, Abe uncovers a diabolical plan which threatens the very existence of humanity. Caught in the ensuing war between a gang of anti-establishment Re-gens (led by J, a young kingpin of one of East London's forgotten housing estates) and his employers (led by Dawood, the powerful head of the elite Pro-gen population) will Abe make it out alive and escape his life of economic enslavement to be with Ophelia?
