The world is in chaos – the last known oil fields have been vanquished, over-population has reached critical levels and mankind is about to become a thing of the past. Out of this apocalyptic nightmare, an entity known only as the Corporation devise a course of action to cull the human race and initialize a depopulation program. But in a last ditched attempt to save mankind, the scientists tasked with this act revolt and create a drug that reduces humans to a primitive ape-like state, known as Biosyns. But for Max – a young man cast adrift into the wilderness to live as a hunter/gatherer– the Biosyns are the enemy, and must be fought in order to preserve his very existence as the Biosyns begin to evolve.
