Survival Starts Next Door

When the neighborhood becomes the frontline

In a near future shaped by dangerous weather, pandemics, unemployment, and failing services, five closely connected households struggle to protect their cul-de-sac.

When their tech-savvy kids turn online gaming skills toward ethical hacking, they uncover a worldwide conspiracy involving genetically engineered humans. Now, drones, battle machines, and increasingly sophisticated attackers threaten the neighborhood itself.

The Story

One more night in the Cul-Du-Sac

The homeowners association faces a failing economy and mounting security costs. A younger generation of gamers and computer enthusiasts finds a surprising way to help, but their online activities expose a secret plan to replace ordinary humans with genetically engineered successors.

Before the neighbors can warn the wider world, they face attacks involving storms, autonomous drones, battle bots, and engineered fighters. Their ingenuity—and their determination to protect one another—may be their only chance to survive.
