Renaissance
Live Forever: Remix Contest
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: SEPTEMBER 17, 2006
In 2054, Paris is a labyrinth where all movement is monitored and recorded. Casting a shadow over everything is the city's largest company, Avalon, which insinuates itself into every aspect of contemporary life to sell its primary export -- youth and beauty. In this world of stark contrasts and rigid laws the populace is kept in line and accounted for.
SYNOPSISCut off from the world for its own protection, the city has nonetheless continued to expand. Now, 21st century skyscrapers overlay centuries-old architectural masterpieces. And below street level, a sophisticated network of streamlined plazas push up against the city's ancient, deteriorating tunnel systems.In 2054 Paris, the Metro is still running, the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur are still standing, but new layers of architecture have been grafted onto the city's ancient edifice. Bridges have been altered, and a glass-like floor now covers a subterranean commercial center at the base of Notre Dame Cathedral. Equally imposing is the Avalon Corporation. Everywhere in the city, talking billboards soothe the populace with an interrupted message selling ageless beauty. Ageing and physical corruption has increasingly become an obsession. The people of Paris want youth and Avalon wants to sell it to them. When 22-year-old Ilona, one of Avalon's most promising scientists, is abruptly kidnapped, Avalon calls on Barthelemy Karas, a Paris cop with a hard-fought reputation for finding anyone, no matter what sacrifices he has to make along the way. As the trail gets hot, Karas senses he's not the only one looking for the beautiful enigma, and every witness he digs up seems to turn up dead. Ilona and her sister, Bislane, were orphans rescued from the brutal, war-torn Caucasia region so that the prodigal younger sister would eventually work at Avalon, where she was mentored by the great geneticist Jonas Muller. The sisters separated as Ilona became deeply immersed in her work: Bislane fell into a life in the underworld, and Muller gave up his brilliant career to open a clinic for the city's poor. If Avalon vice president Paul Delienbach knows anything about the mysterious project Ilona may have been involved in - something called the Renaissance Protocol - he isn't talking. To find Ilona and unlock the secrets of her disappearance, Karas must plunge deep into the parallel worlds of corporate espionage, organized crime and genetic research where the truth imprisons whomever finds it first and miracles can either save the world, or end it.
