WOOLMAN'S ARK

WOOLMAN'S ARK
By H.G. Middlemass

GENRE: Sci-fi, Drama
LOGLINE:

A high-school teacher uses Quantum Physics to solve the world's energy problem but gets arrested for refusing to be implanted with a bio-metric chip that detects viruses but monitors all human thoughts.

SYNOPSIS:

Larry Woolman is a teacher having a life-crisis. His wife left him due to his gambling problem, while, his over-achieving brother is nominated for a Nobel Prize in medicine.

But his life is forever changed when a Celestial Being visits and gives him the secret to solve the world's energy problem.

Using quantum physics, he's shown a way to gather anti-matter and how to build a device to harness the most powerful technology in human history.

Soon after, he is hailed as the greatest scientist since Einstein. NASA, believes in the technology and appoint Larry lead scientist of mission “Golden Arc” to capture Anti-matter from a high-earth orbit.

But when the Being returns, it warns of a coming apocalypse!

Then, Congress passes a law that all people must be implanted with Biometric chips that can detect viruses and prevent the next pandemic but there's a catch: Brain patterns and human thoughts will be monitored 24-7!

Convinced the prophecy is true, Larry holds a press conference urging people to fight the law. He argues that bio-metric surveillance will be the end of all human privacy.

Adding to the conflict is the fact that the designer of the chip is Larry's brother.

But...when he announces that all his knowledge on quantum physics was given to him by an unknown celestial traveler, a firestorm of controversy is unleashed. He's called a liar, a false prophet, his team is ready to quit and The President is about to cancel the mission.

He is arrested in the name national security and given an ultimatum to publicly renounce his opposition and accept the implant or face imprisonment and his children will be taken away and implanted.

So, will Larry accept the chip and compromise his fundamental belief that bio-metrics will lead to digital enslavement?

Can they successfully bring back the anti-matter or will the mission be canceled?

And will the human race sacrifice all privacy to prevent pandemics or will that be the very catalyst that leads to world apocalypse?
