Driven by his strong Aryan beliefs and upbringing, and after decades of frustrating failure, world renown geneticist Freidrik Mauser finally breaks the code and develops a deadly virus that genetically targets all non-white skinned persons. 60 vials of the lethal virus are released simultaneously worldwide, reaping pandemonium with the rapid pandemic spread and monumental death toll that follows in the days after the wake. In the infancy of the viral outbreak, the sudden confirmation and mounting deaths of persons of white skin uncovers a crucial oversight in Mauser's calculations and testing of the virus. No one is immune. Situated near the foot of Hood Mountain in Oregon and watching events unfold, Dr Rhys Ainsley, lead scientist of Jemmasson-Cheyenne Industries and the world's number one human cloning organ centre, places the premises in lockdown and he and several staff survive along with an estimated half a billion others from remoter areas around the globe. To maximise survival outcome for the years to follow, in an untested procedure, Ainsley clones 5 multiple of several highly skilled security employees with a view of strengthening their community. But the process is flawed and although physically identical in every way, traits and dispositions differ vastly in all of the clones, causing added unrest in the rebirth. In addition to trying to resettle, and as dominant human nature would have it, Ainsley's community comes under assault from an enslaved force of persons whose leader is hellbent on leading the new world order, no matter what the cost.
