By Suki Singh

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

EVO is a small-time criminal who gains extraordinary mental and physical powers after a bizarre close encounter during a failed robbery. At first relishing the power, the cost begins to mount for Evo as jealous gang members turn against him. A new client appears on the scene, keen to steal his abilities for himself thrusting Evo into a dark world of sex, revenge and death.

SYNOPSIS:

EVO CASSEY is part of a low level criminal gang-for-hire, employed by wealthy business people

to eliminate rivals through violence and intimidation. One night, however, things don’t go to

plan as one of their targets, a Japanese boy (FLINT) escapes from them while being tortured.

The gang doesn’t know Flint is special. He’s stolen a powerful alien seed from their client that

gives the bearer incredible strength and mental agility.

When a car strikes Flint as he attempts to escapes, Evo receives the client’s power as he

helps Flint up from the ground. Over the next few days, Evo’s power grows and he climbs the

ranks of the gang, despite a terminal illness that seems to have disappeared overnight.

Second-in-command FABIO (Evo’s cousin), takes exception to Evo’s growing status in the

gang. Fabio wants to take over from his brutal father (GEORGE) but sees new, improved Evo

as a threat to his leadership, breeding resentment. Fabio is convinced Evo is using steroids.

He does not know the real truth.

As Evo gets stronger, he catches the eye of WILLEM, a successful but crooked businessman

from the German political elite, who is becoming weaker every day - the alien seed was stolen

from him by Flint. Time is running out for the German as he learns the seed’s significance

with the approaching equinox. If he doesn’t have the seed back in possession by then, he will

die.

Evo uses his new powers to uncover mysteries about the seed and all the gifts it bestows, but

the price he will pay is high to save his own life and the ones he loves, In the end, the choice is

clear - Evo must evolve or die.
