Synopsis: The Enhanced
Synopsis:
After 20 years without children scientists have created a children immuned to the plague that has caused deaths of hundreds of thousands. Stronger, faster, more immune to disease and resistant to the plague, they seemed like the perfect enhanced children. As time passed, the children seemed to grow more and more agressive. When a cure for the plague is found and normal children begin to be born, fear of the Enhanced children grow into a panic. With the death of a norm child at the hands of an Enhanced child, action is demanded and Enhanced children are sent away to Centers in an attempt to curb their aggression.
Adam and Cain Gates are put into a terrible Center, filled with abuse and expirementation. When the boys escape and go home to beg their parents to bring them home, they find they have been replaced with a norm child. Their mother won’t listen to their pleas for help and call Center Security. The pair are eventually cornered on the docks. Cain is recaptured and Adam, is believed to have drown. An old war vet finds Adam and takes him home with him to keep him safe.
While Adam learns that not all Norms are bad, Cain learns a different lesson under strict control of the Center. Blaming them for what he believes is their fault for Adam’s death, he bides his time and in a riot lets loose hundreds of Enhanced children and teens. Many disappear into the dense woods and many follow him, founding a group of rebels far to the south of Adam.
Adam and his mentor find two escapees a child, only 8 and a girl Adam knew from before. She tells him that Cain took his group south. CS (Center Security) finds them and they run into another group of rebels, founded by one of the first Enhanced children. When they find out Sabrina is pregnant, they want to keep her and use her to show the world they are a real people. Adam won’t risk his girlfriend and unborn child and they leave. CS hears about her and go on a hunt to find her. The rebels want Adam because he has contacts with norms that have been providing them with food and supplies. Without Adam things could go south in a hurry.
Cain is having trouble of his own. CS is moving in and he has freed nearly 100 more Enhanced, but there’s a problem with how to handle all the newcomers. Feeding them all is a growing concern. Cain kills two CS officers and two Norms as he grows more ruthless in his need to bring his people supplies.
Now that Adam is gone Fabian’s rebel came grows more violent. Adam was the only thing keeping them at bay as his supplies were only given if they did no harm to Norms. Now that Adam is no longer with them. The rebel group is back to their old tricks and killing harmless norms to get the supplies they need.
Adam, Sabrina and Richie literally run into Cain while running from the CS. Adam tries to prevent the murder of one officer, but Cain won’t listen. He takes Adam and company to his underground bunker. Adam witnesses the birth of his son just before the CS finds them. Adam is recaptured and taken to reconditioning. They drug him try to brainwash him and he “escapes” ill and delusional.
Fabian finds him, but he’s been infected with a virus and tagged. CS waits until many in the camp are ill and strike. Cain comes to the rescue but not entirely in time. He drives off CS, but Adam is dying so do about half of the others infected. Cain is there for his brother’s death. He takes Adam’s body to the water treatment facility and dumps his body in the water to infect the norms, or so he hopes and later watches the news as people start to die. He takes his people deep into the mountains leaving the norms to live or die. Sabrina is holding Adam’s son and Cain’s girlfriend is pregnant now too. They were a real people now, and he was going to keep his people free if it killed him.
