Synopsis
London, 2012. A world that has taken a different direction, gone down another fork in the road of possible histories… An alternative reality, but one not outside the realms of possibility. The nationwide riots of 2011 escalated beyond the control of the police. The media has instilled a culture of fear in the public, and the government have taken extreme measures to deal with the civil unrest. Martial law has been instated. Curfews are in place. The Olympics are cancelled. But most unprecedented of all: the internet has been switched off, a powerful and heavily-policed firewall has been created. Total communication blackout.
As our story unfolds, one seemingly unremarkable murder – of a man who seems to have predicted his own death – will be the catalyst that unravels the secrets and lies holding this world together, as the past catches up with the future…

- I'm a little bemused, not that I wish to pour cold water on your win - which I'm sure, as GMan said was massivley deserved - but surely the contest closed in December and this wasn't uploaded until May 2nd? Can you shed some light on this?
