THE STORY

The story begins on an airplane flying from Jamaica — a young girl aged 8, leaving everything she has ever known. She came to England and never wanted to go to school, quickly getting wrapped up in street life and selling drugs at a young age. By 11 she was taken into foster care. While in care, she got pregnant with her first child at 16.

Sasha Johnson's white British foster mother refused to give up on her. She encouraged Sasha to go to university in Oxford, where she learned about the Black Panthers and racial inequality. The foster mother had a young son aged 14 who became Sasha's little foster brother — a quiet, thoughtful boy who wanted to be a scientist. His name was Adam.

In a vibrant, imaginative science laboratory nestled in the city, a diverse group of students arrives for an inspiring science enthusiasts' workshop. Led by the enthusiastic Dr. Lucy Chains, they are introduced to the concept of becoming scientists. Each student brings unique ideas; the workshop encourages them to design and test creative experiments.

One student — Adam — has a breakthrough with his scientific cell prevention project. After his foster sister was shot in the head at a house party in Peckham, and those who inflicted the grievous injuries remained free and unpunished for over four years, Adam channelled his grief and rage into something the world had never seen.

Adam investigates how high-level resistant MRSA arises, aiming to gain new insights into the mechanisms that underpin bacterial life and antibiotic resistance. Cells are the fundamental units of life. Adam's Foster Cells remove any physical evidence of a human wanting to commit a crime — or else they could lose their life. If any violent thought enters the host's mind, without warning, they are instantly gone. Dead on the spot.

Adam's new cells are making the world a better place, quickly helping police reduce gang violence and crime across the globe. But is Adam's life now at risk? As the other students start asking too many questions, the rest of humanity is left wondering: who created these deadly cells that hospitals are inserting into patients' bodies — without their consent or acknowledgement?

The closing scenes show gang culture falling down fast, with violence and crime becoming a thing of the past. A powerful and true depiction of how science — born from personal tragedy — can fundamentally alter the course of human history.
