Synopses & Reviews
In the near future, corporation rules every possible freedom. Without government, there can be no crime. And every act is measured against competing interests, hidden loyalties and the ever-upward pressure of the corporate ladder.
Any quest for transparency is as punishable as an act of murder. But one man has managed to slip the system, a future-day robin hood who tests diary milk outside of corporate control and posts the results to the world.
When the Milkman is framed for a young girl's murder and anonymous funding comes through for a documentary filmmaker in search of true art beneath corporate propaganda, eyes begin to turn and soon the hunt is on.
Can the man who created the symbol of the Milkman, the only one who knows what really happened that bloody night, escape the corporate rat maze closing around him? Or is it already too late?
Synopsis
In Edwin McCallums world, nations are no more. The worlds assets are divided among three companies. When one of those assets is murdered, its McCallums job to figure out what it means to the bottom-line. The bottomlines on fi lm-maker Sylvia Chos mind, too. Whos footing the bill for this documentary? And whos the subject, this so-called ‘Milkman? Systems engineer Emory Leveski knows and it looks like it might cost him his life.
With no governments, there is no crime. Any act is measured against competing interests, hidden loyalties and the ever-upward pressure of the corporate ladder. Its a tough place for those who still believe in right and wrong. And for these three, it just got a lot tougher.
