A grotesque, high-energy rock opera that blends horror gore with theatrical absurdism and dark comedy to explore corporate exploitation and family secrets in a dystopian future.

By the year 2056, an epidemic of organ failures has devastated the planet. The megacorporation GeneCo provides organ transplants on a payment plan — and those unable to fulfill their plans have their organs repossessed. In the midst of this, a sickly teenager discovers a shocking secret about herself, her father, and their connection to GeneCo.
