Innocent to one. Stranger to most. Enemy to the entirely dangerous. No one knows who the Gemini are. Whether there is an individual, or simply a group of people with unknown intent. Reports of disappearances have been occurring throughout the country and it is unknown whether or not the Gemini are extraterrestrials with an objective to capture humans and dissect them for studies. There are four figures with the exactly the same height, nearly similar facial and physical features, including different super abilities. -- John Miller finds himself in the middle of the street at night - no memory of who he is or where he came from. The only thing that he obtains for clues include strange markings on his hands, a blue/red eye that shines as if robotic behavior is being displayed, and a vision of a beach in Paradise. Walking the dark streets at night, John discovers the world has turned upside down as a result of the world being struck by a meteor that altered every part of humanity and is now overrun by aliens. This all changes when John slowly regains fragments of his past and discovers the Gemini are set out to capture anybody with super powers to raise a legion bent on exterminating humanity and leaving the Earth further into ruins. In a race against time, John will have to find the Gemini, until secrets about the aliens and the young man will change the course of action. Elements: Dark City, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Blade Runner. MPAA: Rated R for sci-fi violence including disturbing images. Note: First entry of my sci-fi "Anthology" series.
