It is the year 2150, and people are dying from starvation caused by overpopulation and climate change; however, a brilliant scientist is willing to save humanity and give people hope and a Second Chance to live much better... but what is the price? No one can live beyond 50 years old... unless... Johnny Peterson is a disgrace and an outcast who must face charges for his crimes in a strict society that does not tolerate threats to humanity. Not anymore!... He is everything this new world hates: a criminal, a junkie, and a scumbag facing a slow, painful death. He is a threat to the ordered perfection of the new humanity, and there will be no mercy. Yet, the only person who can prevent his execution is the brilliant scientist who changed the world: Dr. Waleska Cohen...Ironically, the most powerful person who could prevent his death is his worst enemy... She is the woman he shattered. Will the architect of humanity's salvation condemn her worst enemy? Or will she give him the second chance he doesn't deserve, forcing her to confront the man who destroyed her past for the sake of humanity's future?
