ACT ONE
In Earth’s far future, in the technologically advanced megacity of SIVARSI NINE, the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT MAINFRAME oversees all. Citizens live utopian, socially and sexually liberated lives, thanks to the TRANKULE CORPORATION’S life-extending nanotechnology.
But wealthy ANTON “PRINCE” PROSPER, mysterious scientific genius, lusts for more. Secluded on his private island, he labors to perfect his invention: ATTOMONS – super nanotech able to bestow eternal life and youth. Aiding him are his stunning lab assistant STEFFAN KABALA and Steffan’s mother, geneticist MADAME KABALA.
Eager to tap into Anton’s vast fortune, Steffan’s mother schemes to get the pair wedded and bedded. But Steffan’s love for Anton, though volatile and possessive, is real. Shutting her out, the young scientists succeed in perfecting the Attomon formula. Even as their love soars, they vow to keep their discovery a secret for, in the wrong hands, it could lead to a BIO-TECHNICAL PLAGUE that could wipe out Humanity.
At Steffan’s lavish birthday party staged by vivacious social maven BUNCHH, despite his good intentions, Anton succumbs to all the erotic temptations immortality and unlimited wealth present. His flagrant dallying with both male and female guests leaves Steffan humiliated and heartbroken. He takes revenge by stealing the Attomon formula SCHEMATIC CHIP. Devious Madame Kabala, in turn, steals the chip from Steffan, to sell to corrupt mega-mogul TONO TRANKULE.
ACT TWO
The Trankule Corporation announces “The Perma-Youth Project,” its version of the stolen Attomon formula. Anton broadcasts a worldwide warning, but Madame Kabala assures the public that the Great Mainframe can manage the delicate Attomon program. Convinced the new technology is safe, wealthy buyers flock to gain eternal life.
As Anton warned, the Great Mainframe proves faulty; Trankule’s clients begin to melt into puddles of red goo. Tono Trankule dissolves before his stricken daughter FRONDA’S eyes as she, too, shows symptoms of the RED DEATH. Madame Kabala, Steffan, Fronda and her young beau DARYEL MIRRIN seek refuge on Anton’s island.
Touched by Daryel’s plea for Fronda’s life, Anton uses an untested, prototype SIPHON to remove her corrupt Attomons. She survives but, realizing her privileged world is crumbling, she confides to Daryel her regret at being sterilized. They and a deeply depressed Bunchh refuse when Anton, intent on starting a new world order ruled by an IMMORTAL ELITE, injects his thousand guests with pure Attomons.
As Steffan tries to regain his lover’s trust, Madame Kabala fans his jealousy over Daryel’s innocent friendship with Anton. The guests, believing themselves safe inside the mansion, revel in the pleasures of the SEVEN RAINBOW CHAMBERS. Anton tells them anything goes except for his rigid HOUSE RULE: “Nothing Against Another’s Will.”
Crushed by the growing rift between Anton and Steffan, which prevents them from working together to check the plague, tender-hearted Bunchh commits suicide. Undone by grief, Steffan lets his mother goad him into injecting Daryel with Attomons. The hope is to expose the boy as a seducer after immortality and Anton’s fortune. But the rash act backfires. Steffan has broken the house rule. Princely honor demands justice. Admitting he has always loved Steffan – and only Steffan – Anton sadly cancels his Attomons, turning him mortal.
Moments later, Madame Kabala – then all the screaming guests – begin to melt into pools of gore. Horrified, Anton realizes his father’s ATOMIC CLOCK, timekeeper to his private, clean computer, has enabled the glitchy Great Mainframe to hack in and disrupt everyone’s Attomon programming. Now Daryel and Anton, too, are dying. Knowing the siphon can cure only one at a time, Anton uses it on Daryel.
As the boy heals and Fronda watches, Anton is shocked to see Steffan approach with a smile of love and forgiveness. Near death, Anton gives Fronda and the now-cured Daryel the SCHEMATIC for the siphon. He sends them out a secret passage to whatever awaits them. Cleansed of his own Attomons, Steffan has a chance to escape and live. But he chooses to embrace Anton and share his fate. Both men have finally learned the meaning of “a love that gives all, asking nothing in return.”
