THE RESTORATION PROJECT
Nanobots, injected in over ninety percent of the population, were designed to boost immune systems and eradicate diseases, but they worked too well. As overpopulation became an issue, a signal was sent to deactivate the nanobots, but it turned them against their hosts instead. Many have learned to cope with the existence of 'Baldies' and some have even found ways to reverse the effects, but humanity remains on the brink of extinction. And those infected with nanobots are not the worst things roaming the earth.
The Restoration Project is a story about survival and finding allies in the unlikeliest of places. One man travels across a wasteland to obtain the cure for his wife. A rag tag group of bounty hunters search for their big payday. A pregnant survivalist struggles between letting go of a lost love and embracing a new one. A man that has founded a lawless town searches for his last known family member. The lives of these individuals collide as they search for a way to exist in this new world. Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends. And new threats may tip the world into complete chaos.
