Defect  An Alternate Reality Musical

Synopsis:
the times are politically volatile. Nightwalkers, a like-human species that live by the night, live segregated, as outcasts beyond the wall of the city. In this divided and volatile city, a human boy falls for a girl from the wrong side of the wall. A dangerous romance begins. these star crossed lovers were born in the wrong age. Society fails them. And an innocent community is threatened with extinction. Can love ever survive hate when the police absent themselves, the Church is passive and rioters and looters take to the streets? A cautionary tale set in a world we must hope to never see. . .

Notes:
Music by Craig Adams. Book and Lyrics by Craig Adams and Clare Prenton. Based on an original idea by Craig Adams and Ian Watson. Originally developed by Perfect Pitch.
