Synopsis
In a dystopian Britain of the future, sisters Waneesha and Jade, from Sector S of The Scraps, face routine obliteration of their village from militant forces controlled by ultra rich city dwellers. Percy, CEO of Magpie enterprises, has obtained land rights to The Scraps via his wife Theodora’s birthright. They now both aim to sell the land to contractors. Percy conspires with mercenary Jaws to clear the village out by any means necessary so long as he pleases his looming contractors with levelled land. Waneesha wants to stay and fight the militants like her father did, while Jade wishes to escape to the city. Their fortunes are all changed one day when a mysterious stranger from the city, by the name of Che, reveals a number of truths.
