Description

“Wetware” is set in a near future where people down on their luck apply for genetic modifications to take on hard jobs in slaughterhouses, toxic cleanup and deep sea mining – that nobody wants to do. With business booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end prototypes, Jack and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel, counterterrorism, and deep cover espionage.

Galapagos genetic programmer Hal Briggs is sharp and creative but impetuous. He’s a socially awkward romantic in a transactional world. He keeps a virtual human clock at home and improvises as he goes on what qualities to include or delete in his gene splicing for Jack and, especially, Kay, to whom he develops a dangerous attachment.

Then word gets out that Jack and Kay have escaped, before Briggs has completed his work. Where have they gone and what do they know? Briggs scrambles to track his fugitive prototypes and, as he reexamines Jack and Kay's codes, he makes a provocative discovery that will change everything.

In addition to Scoggins, Wolk, and Lada, “Wetware’s” cast includes Jerry O’Connell (“Stand By Me,” “Jerry McGuire”), Nicole Shalhoub (“The Good Wife,” “Madame Secretary”), Matt Salinger (“24,” “Captain America”), Aurélia Thiérrée (“Aurelia’s Oratorio,” “Bells and Spells”), Garret Lee Hicks (“The Americans”),Emmy- winner Gordon Clapp and Nantucket actors Susan McGinnis, Vince Veilleux, and Charlotte and Madeleine Ruley.
