Utopia

In the Utopia where all major decisions are made by the Computer life is far<br />from idyllic for many. Three ordinary people find their lives intertwined in a society that demands conformity and obedience.<br /><br />Deron Boyd a man struggling with loss and addiction has been convicted of a crime he doesn't remember committing. Even though there's surveillance footage of him breaking into a Store and stealing drugs he feels that something isn't quite right. Everything in the Utopia is free-there is no money-so why didn't he just wait until the Store opened?<br /><br />Matthew Tucker is a guard who transports criminals to the Utopia's labour camp a place where Utopians work for twelve hours a day. He lives in constant fear of failing his duties and being sent back to the Camp himself. So when the leaders of the Utopia ask him a lowly guard for a meeting he doesn't know what to think. <br /><br />Sakura Saito's story mirrors that of Deron's with loss and addiction affecting every part of her life. When she arrives at the Camp she becomes a beacon of hope and love in Deron's darkest days though soon their relationship is strained with the inevitable hanging over them-Sakura's release and their unavoidable separation. But a friend thinks he has a plan to keep them together though it requires them to risk it all.
