In the year 2025, the Canadian Parliament passed Bill C-127. This legislation officially declassified infected citizens as "hostile entities," turning those carrying the LYCAN-1 virus into targets for state-sanctioned "population management." David Keller was a man seeking a way to repair his fractured life, until he found a pregnant female in his crosshairs. He chose to lower his rifle, opting for mercy over a government paycheck, and transformed himself into a target in the process.
This visceral thriller examines the dark consequences of bureaucratic evil and the enduring power of parental love. It is a haunting exploration of where the line between man and monster actually falls, revealing that the most dangerous predators often wear badges and suits.
