THE STORY
It is Sydney, 2026, where the major conflicts of the breaking millennium, the scramble for resources and the fight to survive in a collapsing environment, when every act and commodity is measured for profitability, when you don't count. Most are unemployed. An advertising whizz Is laid off and his personal and economic world collapses. Computers worldwide crash. Feral street scavengers caught robbing his house, become allies in his  survival. They go foraging street-side rubbish and score an old junk computer. They hack it to uncover a conspiracy of corporate backhanders for public contracts. Corporate neglect leads to polluted water. An epidemic erupts citywide. Water is scarce and sewers overflow. Emergency powers are invoked. They decide to gather data on pollution from the watershed. And to do some industrial sabotage to bring media attention. And they must run the security blockade to enter the catchment. The group divides, one to crack the dam data files and the other to get water samples underground at Jenolan . Hiding in old mine tunnels they encounter weird forces, "elders", ghost ancestors who are the guardians of nature, who help them. Playing tag with security they return to suburbia where a media circus ensues and the villains exposed.
