Solution Sixty-Five
In a search for control of the economy and natural resources, the British government found a drastic solution. Solution Sixty-five.
To decrease the burden of the growing elderly population, from the age of sixteen, citizens could sign up to Solution Sixty-five and would receive a sixty-five thousand pound payout, allowing debts to be paid, medical bills to be covered and new business to flourish. In return, they would agree to be peacefully euthanised at the age of Sixty-five. A noble sacrifice for future generations.
But, what if you changed your mind. Initially, contracts were broken and those who ran were hunted down with brutal efficiency, until the idea of a successful escape was all but forgotten.
Tom Kind tried to do a good deed, but he broke the law and got caught. With a choice between serious prison time and Solution Sixty-five, Tom and his loyal friend decide to run. Unaware of the consequences of their actions and the dangerous web that captures any and all who would help them defy the system.
The hunt begins.
