Synopsis

Synopsis - The Atheling – Heir to the Kingdom – In the year 2047, on an Earth ravaged by ‘limited’ nuclear war, this archaic word may hold the key to mankind’s survival. As nations escalate the arms race in a futile attempt to stave off a final holocaust, strange messages are received from a far distant planet. As one brave man fights to save Earth from imminent devastation, his actions are paralleled on a twin world, by a prince who is struggling to redefine his corrupt civilization in humanistic terms. The two men are linked by destiny to play out a drama that will determine the fates of both worlds.
