THE NEXT STAGE IN HUMAN EVOLUTION IS ALMOST HERE... BUT WILL HOMO SAPIENS SURVIVE?
It's 2065. Environmental and social chaos are poised to disrupt all life on earth. Some regions are still controlled by their governments, others - beyond the walls surrounding the major cities - are controlled by gangs and rebel armies.
Dr Michael Khan, a brilliant geneticist struggling to save his wife, Annie, from a deadly virus, is recruited by a secret organization committed to bringing about the next stage in human evolution. Homo novus -- less greedy, more cooperative, more resistant to disease, and ready to take over the future once the rest of the human race wipes itself out.
When the military learns of Michael's research, he is hired to create genetic resistance to a weaponized form of Ebola being deployed against his country. However, the military has its own agenda, and Michael and Annie soon learn that nobody, not even their own government, can be trusted.
Now, with his wife and millions of his fellow citizens about to die, and his project hijacked for the ruthless objectives of war, Michael must find a way to save humanity from itself before it's too late.
