Synopsis: Monster
In the future, a vaccine has been created that makes humans all but indestructible. Some humans are immune to this vaccine, and their parents either hand them over the over gov't to be executed, or hide them away in the woods. Some parents and people don't even get the vaccine, (for their kids) and go straight into hiding. If the vaccine begins working on a child, then they get it progressively until around age 13 (it’s different for everyone), when the effects become permanent, and they don't have to get the shots any more. They become ten times stronger than those without the vaccine (called “Naturals”), are faster, have better hearing and eyesight, and one who has completed the vaccine process would be referred to as an “Enhance”. A single Enhance could kill 5 Natural attackers in just over a minute without breaking a sweat.
Society has changed to make the world more durable for the new norm, using stronger materials, more dangerous, powerful weapons, to contain criminals, to wage wars. People live longer, no long fall prey to illness.
The gov't hunts down Naturals, and executes them if they are immune to the vaccine, or forces them to get vaccinated if it works.
Most Naturals live in colonies, from 20 -200, underground, in the woods, etc. Some hide alone. It is widely believed that the Enhances want them all dead and look at them as monsters. Many of them see the Enhances as the monsters, who have destroyed their bodies, changed the way mother nature intended, as well as forced the natural people into hiding. They HATE Enhances. No one but the people on the inside of the colonies are allowed to know the location. And of course, the Naturals cannot have contact with anyone outside of their colony, except for the leaders, who contact each other, to connect the colonies. The only Enhances on the inside of the colonies are ones who fled to save their children from execution or the vaccine.
They do not know that there is a rebel group of Enhances that advocate the right to choose whether or not you get the vaccine, and to outlaw the execution of those immune to it, as well advocating the widespread toleration of the integration of Naturals back into society. No one knows who they are because they would be arrested.
The leader of this group, a 24 year old man, and of course, an Enhance, has had a secret relationship with an 23 year-old Natural girl, she is aware that he is the leader of the rebel group, and that they know of his connections with her. Her colony knows nothing.
At one point, they are meeting in the woods, as they do every week, when the girl’s uncle discovers them, he flips out, assuming the worst, and runs back to the colony, bringing 5 men to capture him. And an extra to drag the girl back to the colony to lecture her. He doesn’t struggle, there is hardly any reason for him to do so either way. He tries to explain to the leader, back at the colony, that he is the leader of the rebel group, and he really wants to help, and the leader is on the verge of believing him. But then a bunch of Enhance Scouts (gov’t officers who hunt for Naturals) show up. And then even his beloved believes that he set them up to be captured.
