In the parahuman species-meld program, you either live, or you don't. If you don't, bad luck. If you do, well, you get the benefit of having your DNA genetically fused with that of an animal, giving you certain strengths and attributes normal humans couldn't gain otherwise.
Victoria Kaelin administers the serum that adjusts the DNA little by little, but she begins to notice particular aggressive behaviours emerging when her ruthless program leader decides to "fix" the serum. She turns to her best friend, parahuman Lux Matthews, for help, but upon investigation, their lives are flipped out of favour. Nothing is an accident anymore, and they struggle to survive the suddenly perilous life they've gained.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in
Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce.
*****
It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent.
Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all.
