Waking up angry and confused brings back the memory of a betrayal Stephen has not begun to process. Has the father he’s known and loved all his life gone mad? A clinical cold madness, driven by soul destroying grief, that has allowed him to harm his only son? Struggling with his emotions Stephen has no idea that his father has ‘leap frogged’ him into a reality where his resilience and adaptability will be tested to the limit. A place where the surface order and calm of society is beginning to show cracks caused by its underlying tensions and unresolved resentments. A place where polarizing genetic ideologies are starting to resurface and social constructs put in place to avoid conflict are starting to slip. Fate is going to place Stephen at their epicentre, where his natural athleticism and the elasticity of youth will be his only weapons.
