![]() An epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, GeneCo, a biotech company offers organ transplants. Operations don't come cheap so, for those who can't afford it, GeneCo offers easy organ financing. With so many patients undergoing transplant surgery, GeneCo develops Zydrate, a compound derived from an endorphin that's created in the brain at the time of death, to give patients a “pain free” recovery.
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants… for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men.
In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.
