Synopsis:

Born "on-ground" in a time near forgotten, O is the last of a dying breed in a post-sun era. Now the world lives underground in a state of virtual darkness. Family, light and personal choice are things of the past and Child Development Units, The Network, and The Prime Objective are the new norm. With resources dangerously depleted, humanity continues on its path towards extinction, hoping for technology to slow the inevitable. While threats of conflict escalate amongst the remaining world leaders, O suddenly finds himself with the ability to determine Earth's future on his own.
