A dark, paranoia-soaked thriller about a generational apocalypse where awakening children become an existential threat to the adult world.

Ten years have passed since the world's children fell into a coma. Tonight they're waking up and all hell is breaking loose. An unholy battle between the generations is being waged, and time is not on the side of adults.
