Welcome To 'Broken Britain'

JobNet was supposed to usher in a better life for unemployed David Mills; instead it plunges him into a bitter struggle to survive when he becomes a pawn in a political conspiracy that pushes Britain to the brink of civil war...

After austerity came prosperity and stability, but it was bought at a terrible price...

In a surveillance society blind where it matters most, a deadly conspiracy is ready to strike...

A dictatorial Prime Minister, confident of his grip on power, is about to discover the limits of his strength...

A security operative turned terrorist is all set to bring down the man he once helped to steal power...

Welcome to Britain, a nation bitterly divided between rich and poor, as it teeters on the edge of chaos...

And unemployed David Mills is caught in the middle, torn from the woman he loves and thrown in to a terrible struggle to survive…

He’s a ‘zero’, one of the destitute millions, a nobody, but he’s also the one man who might salvage some kind of freedom out of the ruins of the future...

No wonder the Prime Minister wants him dead...

A dark warning of the dangers of abandoning social justice, Citizen Zero creates a powerful amalgam of science fiction, political thriller and social satire to present a dystopian world born out of today's austerity.

The result is a compelling and powerful future shocker rooted firmly in the social landscape of today. The Boys From The Black Stuff meet The Matrix and joins forces with V For Vendetta to create a disturbing vision of tomorrow's Britain.

Are you ready for the future?
