Cranax Outbreak – Candice Lim 


 

In the alternate 2020, the scientific nation of Asia Nova is ruled by a group of elite scientists called the Community. All others are the Peasants. It’s the prime time of genetic engineering. Artistic dreams are frowned upon and non-academic hobbies can only be pursued in secrecy.

The wrestle for power in the Community thrust the demotivated Roxy Riley into the path of the covert party who has abducted star scientist, Jane Hershey.

While battling her crippling self-doubt and anxiety, Roxy spirals into a bigger problem when she finds herself in an accidental quest to rescue Hershey and protect her family from the Cranax virus plaguing her city. All while figuring out who her real friends are and who wants to get in her genes.

The last person Roxy expects to run into is her high school ex, Samuel Maximoff whom she left for the Community. Turns out, he might be the only one who can help her and she might not want to lose him after all.
