What are you willing to risk if there are no limits, in a world where the pharmaceutical industry is unregulated, and drug-and-gene therapy is the accepted norm? In this new world,
everyone has Autarchy-total bodily autonomy and the right to weigh the risks vs. benefits for themselves in determining how far they're willing to go to be bigger, better, and faster.
But what if they're being lied to?
Billie's navigating the difficult world of high school and feelings of inadequacy. What is the cost of meeting expectations in a landscape where enhancement is the norm? Like many others keen to see boundaries being pushed, Billie is a fan of the Medlympics, the corporate-sponsored spawn of the Olympics used to promote new drug advancements with pharmaceutically-enhanced athletes like Mason. An American icon, Mason's risking everything for the elusive glory promised by performance-enhancing drugs. But as the stakes soar, he questions the price of his success. He's taking the greatest risks, but how much of his life is he surrendering to the all-powerful drug companies?
Behind the scenes, Gina, a pharmaceutical scientist and idealist, discovers unsettling truths that shake her faith in the system she once believed in. Capitalism and human greed can be
a dangerous mix. As their paths converge, and careers and lives teeter on the brink, Billy, Mason, and Gina confront a chilling question: in a world where truth is obscured by profit
and power, will they succumb to the allure of greatness at any cost, or will they find the courage to challenge the forces that threaten to consume them?
