Lore & Background

Humanity is chasing immortality through cyborgs, synthetics and hybrids, synthetic bodies holding a transferred human mind. When the research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, the first hybrid, Wendy (Sydney Chandler), and a team of soldiers come face to face with the planet's biggest threat. Wendy leads the "Lost Boys", six prototype hybrids the Prodigy Corporation made from terminally ill children.
