In the future, a disease has spread around the world which leaves people dead upon reaching forty. After the chaos of wars and governmental collapses, a new totalitarian regime has risen in London which only offers a cure to its people inside the safe city of Arcadia. There is a lottery to allow people into Arcadia. Charlie works for Arcadia and is desperate to gain entry for himself and his daughter. He is assigned to capture Adam Black, a member of resistance movement 'Free Care'.
This is a British low budget sci-fi indie with some simple effects. This is mostly filmed in what looks like suburban homes and in the woods. It makes the high tech sci-fi story stall. It doesn't help with the sound quality either. The acting is best described as functional amateurism. The most important aspect is the premise of the movie. The writers are obviously trying to say something about health care. It's trying to be a high-concept sci-fi but the concept needs some more work. It doesn't really get pass a secondary questioning. If Arcadia actually exists, the world would be at its door either threatening it or begging for it to share the cure. This movie construction is simply not built properly. It's a step above film school but a big step below good festival material.
