Check yourself in as a fluid junkie for a super hyper viral ride


Set in the post-AIDS future of 2060, the Government declares the era AIDS FREE. Mutated AIDS viruses give birth to ZERO GEN-humans, who become the bio-drug carriers of the 21st century.  Their hypernarcotic ejaculate takes over the 20th century white powder markets, becoming the new sexual commodity. Diffused through skin contact, this new drug, DELTA, creates an addictive high, pumping up all needle entry points with sen-sexual-sation. A new war on drugs begins and the ZERO GEN are declared illegal. The Government dispatches drug-resistant replicants for round-up arrest missions. When one of these government android’s immunity breaks down and its pleasure centers are activated, the story becomes a tangled multi-thread plot and the ZERO GENs are caught among underground drug lords, glitched super agents, a scheming corporation and a corrupt government. Check yourself in as a fluid junkie for a super hyper viral ride.
