Synopsis/Details
What happened before our show?
In the year 3023, a dangerous futuristic dictatorship known as The ADMINISTRATION is rapidly expanding across the floating cities of America.
Homewardsboundsville Missouri happens to be one such city ruled by the Administration. Inside the floating city is THE SCHOOL FOR THE STRANGE. The School For The Strange is a place where children with special abilities learn how to use their abilities to rule alongside the Administration. If the children fail to reach their full potential they are thrown into the WOLVERINE DEN and their parts are recycled for superior children.
At the School For The Strange, a group of scientists created a manufactured human being. He is the key to stopping the Administration. He is a WEAPON. But he needs time to grow, to understand the world around him. CHRISTOPHER THOMAS is that Weapon. He was created under the watchful eye of BILL O CONNOR. Bill breaks the specific rule of the Administration: ‘No rogue creations.’ He has to hide Christopher in the past.
Bill is brutally murdered by the Administration.
KATE O CONNOR is out for revenge for the death of her dad. Nothing is going to stop her. GEORGE O CONNOR, her brother knows this can get her killed. So he comes up with a plan, to have her look for the weapon that their dad was always talking about. Not even George knows if it exists, but their dad never led them down the wrong path.
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis was built as both a beacon and a portal so that travelers could come from the future to the past. Travelers that would be hiding weapons that would be used against the Administration.
The Administration has caught on to what is happening and is going to be making sure it’s stopped at all costs.
“Christopher needs time to grow, they can never find out he’s a weapon until it’s time.”
