Ilegenes, a globally renowned leader in science and technology with a particular stronghold in genetic engineering, operates a secretive black market for cloning and illicit profits behind its facade of innovation. Due to these unethical practices, the island has earned the infamous nickname "Genetic Sodom." Fon Fortinbras Littenber, a dedicated student council member at Ilegenes Military Academy, was adopted by Doctor Michael Littenber, a celebrated neuroscientist and architect of Genetic Sodom. Motivated by the tragic deaths of his parents, Fon aims to dismantle the island's shadowy trade. Despite his desire for a peaceful academic life, Fon forms a bond with his roommate, Jacques "Jake" Berne—a lively 22-year-old who remains suspicious of Fon's hidden intentions. As they navigate their school life, Fon must maintain his resolve to uphold an old promise amid the challenges of his environment.
