Synopsis

In the year 2071, the United States has implemented a wide-scale, government-run cloning program tied directly to health insurance. Each U.S. citizen has a clone to fulfill his or her medical needs. Twenty years since the program's inception, no one outside government has seen their copy, and no clone has successfully escaped--until now.
