BINARY

Jessica Wilson, Charley Packham, Robbie Lardi and Odelia Yu SYNOPSIS

Living in a speechless world where evolution has led humans to be born
without voice boxes, Ava meets two rebellious boys who have somehow
managed to keep their voices. Together, immersed in a world of revolution
and secrets, they flee the country to locate a team of rebel scientists
developing their own manmade voice boxes. The only thing they need is
the DNA of a human who can speak, but the government is on the team's
trail and what began as a journey of hope turns into one with only the
tiniest chance of success, even if they do make it in time.
