CLONES: A Scare at Bedtime

A gripping dystopian thriller about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human

RX-75 has lived his entire three-year existence in a sterile pod, grown as a "backup" for Marcus Walker, a man who treats him as merchandise, not a person. In a world where cloning humans for organ harvesting is legal and celebrated as medical progress, RX-75 is property: conscious, suffering, and waiting to be dismantled piece by piece.

But RX-75 dreams. He dreams of rain, of grass beneath his feet, of a world he's only seen through reinforced glass. And when his best friend ZR-27, already reduced to a torso connected to machines, begs him not to end up the same way, RX-75 makes a desperate decision: escape.

With help from unlikely allies and meticulous planning, RX-75 executes the impossible; he switches places with Marcus during a facility visit, walking out the door as his own "Original" while Marcus wakes up trapped in the nightmare he created.

But freedom is more complicated than RX-75 imagined. Living as Marcus means deceiving Marcus's girlfriend Emma, fumbling through a job he doesn't understand, and discovering that the man whose life he stole was far from innocent. Meanwhile, Marcus experiences firsthand the horror of being conscious property and nobody believes he's human.

As the facility closes in and both men's worlds unravel, RX-75 must make an impossible choice: protect his hard-won freedom, or risk everything to save the man who created him for parts. In doing so, he'll have to answer the question that defines his existence: Can a clone have a soul?
