- Synopsis
- Orchestrated by MOUNTAINTOP ELITES with superior fire- power and technology, the enslaved PROVINCES BELOW are divided - It’s a civilization littered with inferior CLONED COPIES (called THE REMOVED) who have overwhelmed their ORIGINALS. At the heart of the conflict - Who has more rights - The Originals or their copies - and should the clones still even be considered human beings? The Elites have exploited this discrepancy until finally war has broken out.
  Our story follows TWO of these CLONED BROTHERS who try desperately cling to their humanity as the world around them burns. TOM is strong, confident, a leader and the ORIGINAL, whereas his COPY, SEAN is soft, soft spoken, is less-than.
  Things aren’t going well in the war as more often than not the Provinces far, far outnumber the elites, yet will often fight among themselves rather than attack the real enemy above.
  The brothers are recruited into a coveted mountainside brigade who are specialized in hunting and killing some of the most feared of the enemy’s weapons: Bears - Towering, nearly unstoppable mechanical CREATURES similar to polar-bears at 3-meters tall.
  As an unlikely team, the two new recruits prove to be invaluable. Tom is a world-class runner and is used as bait to lure the bears out of hiding and Sean is an amazing marksman who uses a high-powered rifle to shoot the creatures with hopes
  of dissecting one bringing a possible end to the war.
  Everything comes to a head for the brothers as one night during sentry duty, Tom is attacked by a bear and dragged
  out across the battlefield and out of sight. Against their Sergeant’s direct orders, the timid Sean heads out behind enemy lines to rescue his brother from certain death.
  Out in the wilderness, it’s the Bear’s territory and soon Sean finds himself being tracked. Nearly killed, he’s swept inside an armored tug boat on a frozen lake and his captor is revealed as a young woman, Alexandra. She’s the runaway daughter
  of a renown scientist/doctor from the mountaintop who is responsible for perfecting the cloning process. We learn the she has dispatched the Bear to find her beloved daughter and bring her back.
  Meanwhile Tom has been taken to a waiting chopper and whisked away to the mountaintop for medical experiments. We learn, that they need a ‘clean copy’ in order to finish their new-generation CLONE ARMY with the intention to finish off the people down below in the next few days.
  Alexandra, Tom and Sean, find themselves in the mountaintop fortress and manage to escape in an unattended craft to warn the Province Forces.
  Further down the mountain, with the Bear distracted by Alexandra and moved out of position, the Provinces Forces pulverize the mountainside surrounding the fortress. A chain reaction begins DESTROYING the enemy stronghold.
  This destruction causes a huge avalanche and the retreating Province Forces are overwhelmed. Yet when they dig them- selves out and emerge, find that the originals and clones are not so different after al
